Chapter 147 King of Chu
(PS: I wrote another Ming Dynasty character last night, and I found it much more interesting to write this kind of thing than a novel, and it seems that there will be more to write in the future.) Finally, can you please collect it, now the collection is only sixty-nine, a little ugly, thank you book friends. )
After the enthronement ceremony was completed, there was nothing to do with Zhu Hongsan, he waited for Feng Ruoshu to appoint, and then set off to return to Guangdong.
The next day, Feng Ruoshu went out early to go to court, but Zhu Hongsan still slept until three poles in the morning.
When I got up at noon, I found that Feng Ruoshu hadn't come back yet, so it stands to reason that it should be over. Zhu Hongsan didn't think about anything else. Begin to prepare for tomorrow's departure.
He should leave 10,000 taels of silver for Qian Lide, which will be used for the start-up capital of the initial stage of the dark guard. In this way, Zhu Hongsan ran away from Beijing and brought out the silver flowers.
Zhu Hongsan thought: "It seems that I have to get silver, but I can't go out of Nanjing City to find a Zhuangzi to slaughter, it's really uncomfortable to have no silver." ”
Just as Zhu Hongsan was thinking nonsense, he notified Feng Ruoshu at the door that he was back.
Old man Feng entered the room with a smile on his face, and Zhu Hongsan saw that this old guy was proud, and he must have taken the position.
Zhu Hongsan asked, "Seeing that my uncle is full of joy, it seems that he has been appointed?" ”
Old man Feng nodded and said, "Yes, the old man was appointed as the governor of Liangguang. ”
Zhu Hongsan asked, "It's not the superintendent." ”
Old man Feng said: "I told you, it is impossible to supervise the teacher, and Liangguang is not a war zone, what do you want the supervisor to do?" ”
Zhu Hongsan then asked, "What about the prefect?" ”
Feng Ruoshu said: "I have agreed with Ma Shoufu, Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, Qiongzhou, and Leizhou. ”
Zhu Hongsan scolded: "Damn, what's the use of Leizhou and Qiongzhou?" The poor rabbits in that place don't poop. ”
Feng Ruoshu said: "No way, if you are given two good places, Guangzhou and Zhaoqing will have to build two poor places." However, the lord can rest assured that I am the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Guangdong, and I still have a certain right to speak in the locality. ”
Hearing Feng Ruoshu say this, Zhu Hongsan was in a better mood.
Feng Ruoshu continued: "My lord, let's see how many people these four prefects use?" ”
Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and said: "Feng Ziyong second cousin went to Guangzhou Mansion, Ma Jiyuan's eldest brother went to Leizhou Mansion, Tong Yangjia went to Qiongzhou Mansion, Xu Dali was originally the prefect of Hengzhou, let him go to Zhaoqing Mansion." ”
Feng Ruoshu said: "Who is this Tong Yangjia? ”
Zhu Hongsan explained Tong Yangjia's origin, and Feng Ruoshu heard that he was a showman, but he was not a person. But seeing that Zhu Hongsan had to use him, plus the rabbits in Qiongzhou didn't, he used to be the end of the earth for exiled prisoners, and there was nothing to give him.
Seeing that Feng Ruoshu had no opinion, Zhu Hongsan said: "Then please ask Mr. to go to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow to operate, and I need money to ask Mr. to speak." ”
Feng Ruoshu nodded and said that he would do this tomorrow.
Next, Zhu Hongsan had to ask how the court was arranged. Zhu Hongsan asked: "Mr. said just now that Ma Shoufu and Ma Shiying became the first assistant?" ”
Feng Ruoshu told Zhu Hongsan about today's court events.
Originally, today's court meeting was going to decide on some personnel appointments. This is normal, the new emperor has to use some of his own people when he comes to power.
Zhu Yousong Hongguang's first edict was to enshrine Huang Degong, Zuo Liangyu as the marquis, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo as the uncles. It's nothing, give the soldiers some rights, after all, they have to go to the front line and be stabbed.
Then there is the great feudal minister, appointing Shi Kefa as a scholar of the East Pavilion University and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and entering the cabinet to do things, Ma Shiying plus the scholar of the East Pavilion University, the secretary of the military department, and the right deputy capital of the imperial history title, still serving as the governor of Fengyang. Jiang Yueguang is the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Duo, the former scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and the two of them are also scholars of Dongge University to work in the cabinet. With Zhang Shenyan as the secretary of the ministry, Liu Zongzhou was summoned as the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Palace.
It's nothing, everyone has no opinion on getting promoted and getting rich, but then it's a little bit wrong. Shi Kefa actually resigned as the head of the palace and wanted to go to Yangzhou to supervise the teacher. The key thing is that Hongguang agreed on the spot and appointed Ma Shiying as the first auxiliary scholar.
This is a bit interesting, the Donglin Party present immediately thought that Ma Shiying and Emperor Hongguang excluded Shi Kefa, and the court was immediately in chaos.
Unexpectedly, the Donglin Party was even more furious next, and Ma Shiying actually recommended Ruan Dacheng to serve as the squire of the military department. You must know that Ma Shiying is also the secretary of the Ministry of War, which means that Ma Shiying actually does not care about things, so the power of the Ministry of War will fall into the hands of Ruan Dacheng.
From the perspective of the Donglin Party, this is the resurgence of the eunuch party, and the old man Liu Zongzhou and Liu will die on the spot on the Golden Palace, and there will be chaos in the court. However, in the end, Emperor Hongguang saw that this was really unpleasant, and promised Ruan Dacheng to postpone the matter.
Next is the feudal officials in various places, Feng Ruoshu served as the governor of Liangguang. There's nothing to make trouble about, Old Man Feng is sleek, and he has a relationship with the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, everyone agrees with this.
Unexpectedly, at the end of the holy decree, Emperor Hongguang added another one, sealing the Huguang Sect and serving Zhu Hongsan, the lieutenant of the country, as the king of Chu. This time is even more chaotic than just now, and Qian Qianyi is even more jumpy to oppose it.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongguang did not give in this time, saying that he would not be crowned Zhu Hongsan, and he would not do it as an emperor, so he took off his robe and gave way.
This frightened the minister, and finally reluctantly agreed to Zhu Hongsan as the king of Chu.
Hearing Old Man Feng recount the events of the early dynasty, Zhu Hongsan didn't expect that Zhu Yousong would do it without hope. It seems that this Zhu Yousong is really good to himself.
Feng Ruoshu said with a smile: "Now I want to call the lord the prince, and the canonized golden book can be delivered in the afternoon." But don't be too happy, these Donglin parties don't give you any money and rewards on the grounds that the treasury has no money. There are also no three guards of the prince, and the lord is basically an empty title. ”
Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "What I want is this title, and everything else is easy to say." If there are no soldiers, we will recruit them ourselves, and the silver is better said, we are now richer than the Nanjing Imperial Court. ”
This is not Zhu Hongsan's big words, his steel and arms business and Dongguan Port Development Zone can earn nearly 100,000 taels of silver every month, and the little money given by the imperial court is really not in his eyes.
Feng Ruoshu said: "But in this case, we will have to leave a few days later, after all, it is a big deal to be crowned a prince, this is also the first time that the new dynasty has been crowned a king, you also have to go to the palace to thank you, and you have to meet with several other princes." ”
Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Then let's stay for another five days." ”
Feng Ruoshu saw that there was nothing wrong, so he went back to his house to rest.
Zhu Hongsan sat in the room and was secretly happy, in fact, it was nothing whether he was crowned king or not. But with this name, after Hongguang is finished, he has the capital to compete for the throne with King Tang and King Gui.
Zhu Hongsan thought of Qian Qianyi, an old bastard, it was a good thing, he had to insert a lever, although he was not short of that money, but no matter how small the fly was, it was meat, and it happened that he was short of silver now.
Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan felt that he was not teaching this old man a lesson, Zhu Hongsan went out and called his royal spy Wang Jinbao, and said: "Xiaobao, you take a few people to the city to find out where Qian Qianyi's home is, take a good look at the surrounding terrain, and then come back to report." ”
Wang Jinbao agreed to go out.
The next thing is to prepare to wait for the edict of the king, you must know that the king of Chu is not a second-rate prince. This is Zhu Yuanzhang's personal crown, Taizu's bloodline. This is also the fact that the Chu clan was almost killed by Zhang Xianzhong, and the remaining few ran away and didn't know where to go, which was cheap Zhu Hongsan. If it weren't for Zhu Hongsan's bloodline, he wouldn't be able to turn a hundred times.
In the afternoon, someone from the Ministry of Rites read out the edict of canonization, Zhu Hongsan knelt down after the incense case to listen to the ceremony, and he didn't understand anything else, and the last sentence was understood, and he was limited to leave Beijing on the same day.
What does this mean, watching the officials of the Ministry of Rites leave after reading the holy decree, Zhu Hongsan took the holy decree and found Feng Ruoshu and asked him to interpret what the holy decree meant.
Feng Ruoshu read the holy decree and said: "The holy decree says that Zhu Hongsan of the Fenghu Guangzong is the king of Chu, temporarily living in Guangzhou, and will return to the vassal after the reconstruction of the Chu palace in Wuchang is completed in the future. There is also no money in the country now, and there are no other rewards, and there are no princes and three guards. In the end, you will be asked to leave Beijing today, that is, you will leave today. There is no need to go to the palace to thank you. ”
Zhu Hongsan was angry when he heard it: "What? Let me go today? Aren't you ready yet? ”
Feng Ruoshu said: "It seems that this article was added by the guys from the Donglin Party, so I have to find something awkward for you." I can't help it, I'll get ready tonight. You go first, and I'll go to you when I'm done. ”
Zhu Hongsan said: "Okay, let me go, I'll leave a boat for my uncle, let's meet in Yangzhou as agreed, I'll go and prepare first." ”
After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he went to prepare something, Zhu Hongsan was about to blow up his lungs. He knew that this must be Qian Qianyi's old bastard behind his back.
Zhu Hongsan secretly scolded: "Old man Qian, bastard, the master and you are not finished." ”
