Chapter 10 The dove occupies the magpie's nest

"This place is Suzhou, only a hundred miles away from Nanjing, how can it not be safe?" Wang Chengen asked suspiciously.

"My father-in-law doesn't know, for example, everyone thinks that the emperor is suffering in the dust, and now Jiangnan has been taken by King Fu as his own, not only Nanjing is heavily guarded, but even Suzhou, Zhenjiang, Wusong and other places are full of brocade guards!"

Blessed King again? I was dazed.

Last night in the wine shop, some people talked about him, who is this guy?

"What did you say?" Wang Chengen was taken aback.

Then he said: "Could it be that King Chengfu has ascended the throne in Nanjing and established himself as the emperor?" ”

I grass!

As soon as Wang Chengen said this, I reacted, if I guessed correctly, this bullshit Fu King should also be a certain prince of the old Zhu family, he is completely a dove occupying the magpie's nest and robbing my buddy of my place.

"Your Majesty, don't you all know?" Zheng Chenggong was also stunned.

I know an egg, I'm floating on the sea all the way, and I didn't have a mobile phone in ancient times, so I couldn't read today's headlines.

"King Fu is so bold!" Wang Chengen said angrily, "Before the emperor fled, I asked people to send a secret letter to Nanjing, telling him that the emperor was about to go south, but I didn't expect him to dare to do such a disobedient thing!" ”

At this time, I interjected and asked, "I was frightened along the way, and I forgot many people and things, I don't know what kind of relationship this blessed king has with me?" ”

Nima! When I said this, I felt embarrassed, Lao Tzu had to be a little more serious when he was in Chinese history, and now he is not so passive.

"Your Majesty, King Fu is Zhu Yousong, the grandson of Emperor Shenzong and the nephew of Emperor Guangzong."

As soon as I said this, I understood, after all, this guy should be Chongzhen's cousin.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, King Fu is my Zhu family's clan, I think this may be a misunderstanding." ”

"Your Majesty, you don't know that King Fu is absurd and has done nothing. If he knew that you were still alive, he would have killed you! Zheng Chenggong said.

I grass, hearing him say this, I suddenly realized.

It is very likely that this Fu King has long wanted to establish himself as the emperor, but Chongzhen has been alive, so he does not dare to mess around.

So they colluded with the senior officials in Beijing to force Chongzhen to make it difficult for the country, and there was a scene when I just crossed over, and the ministers opposed my move to the capital.

But he never expected that buddy, I am not an indecisive Chongzhen, and Lao Tzu killed Wei Zaode on the spot.

It was precisely because he knew that I was going to escape, so he sent people to assassinate me repeatedly, if I guessed correctly, Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the military department, would have been bought by him a long time ago, otherwise Zhang Jinyan's family would not have appeared in Suzhou.

And the imperial doctor was actually arranged by him and Zhang Jinyan; The cavalry that stopped us outside the secret passage was sent by him. So when I took out the scriptures, the cavalry was not interested at all, they only wanted my life.

I remember that one of the cavalrymen died when he said the word "Hu", but in fact he said "Fu", but I didn't hear it.

These are actually not terrible, what is terrible is that he clearly knows that I asked Wu Sangui to fake surrender to Li Zicheng, but for his ambition to be the emperor, he is likely to really kill Wu Sangui's father, and he also released rumors in Jiangnan that I am dead.

Damn it! Lao Tzu faked his death to save his life at that time, but he didn't expect to let this beast pick up the cheap.

"Hasty! I miscalculated! I was so angry that I slapped the table.

"Please calm the emperor's anger!" The people comforted me.

I let out a long sigh, calmed down and said, "Xiao Zheng, I ask you, has King Fu killed Wu Xiang?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, King Fu will behead Wu Xiang's entire family on the first day of his accession to the throne, and he also said that Wu Sangui will kill you in Beijing!"

Hearing this, Lao Tzu was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and Shuang'er couldn't cry anymore, Wu Xiang was her father-in-law.

If I had done it before, I wouldn't have made a big fuss about it at all, because I just wanted to be an emperor who lived in secret.

But now I really want to recover the Ming Dynasty, King Fu killed Wu Xiang, and all Lao Tzu's plans may be subverted.

"Come on, pen and ink, paper and inkstone!" I said anxiously.

"Your Majesty, what do you want pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for?" Wang Chengen asked puzzled.

"Write a letter to Wu Sangui, hurry up!"

Soon, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were sent, and I worked hard to write and talked to Wu Sangui about three points in the letter.

The first point: Tell him that I have arrived in Nanjing safely, reward him for meritorious deeds, and crown him the king of Qin.

The reason why he did this was to let him work for Da Ming with peace of mind and calm his anger after his father's death; On the other hand, the purpose of making him the king of Qin is to stabilize his relationship with the imperial court, and the king of Qin is actually just a false title, because the fief is in Shaanxi, and now it is controlled by Li Zicheng.

The second point: Tell him that Wu Xiang is dead, but being killed is a pure misunderstanding, and has nothing to do with Chongzhen, and appease him to ask him to put the overall situation first, give up his small family for the country, and don't betray the court.

The third point: Tell him that Chen Yuanyuan is all right. Although my father is dead, my wife is still there, and there is still hope in life.

After the letter was written, I called Zhang Zhao over and said, "General Zhang, you hurry to Shanhaiguan, and be sure to send this letter to Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Liaodong." ”

"Please rest assured, the emperor will not fail in his mission!" With that, Zhang Zhao ran off the boat quickly.

Although I tried my best to appease Wu Sangui in the letter, I am really not sure whether Wu Sangui will rebel or not.

After Zhang Zhao left, Wang Chengen asked: "Your Majesty, now that King Fu occupies the magpie's nest, if you go to Nanjing again, I am afraid that it will be unfortunate to the emperor, it is better to listen to Zheng Gongzi, leave Suzhou first and then think about it in the long run." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Suzhou City is full of brocade guards, if the emperor is recognized, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck!" Zheng Chenggong also persuaded him.

Hearing them say this, Chen Yuanyuan, who was on the side, knelt on the ground with a plop, crying and said: "The people's women deserve to die, and they didn't know it yesterday, and they revealed the news of the emperor's arrival in Suzhou to the traitor." ”

I know that Chen Yuanyuan is talking about the scumbag of Mao Bijiang, the reason why Mao Bijiang said those words last night, obviously he already knew the current situation, and it is very likely that this miscellaneous person has gone to Nanjing to report to King Fu.

This made me very embarrassed, these people didn't like Chen Yuanyuan in the first place, and she said this at this time, so I didn't know how to deal with it.

Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan had leaked my whereabouts, Wang Chengen and others stomped their feet.

"The wind and dust geisha who has brought disaster to the country and the people, you are trying to kill the emperor!" Wang Chengen scolded.

"It is said that the red face is misleading the country, Zheng Sen will behead this slut for the emperor!"

Zheng Chenggong drew a knife and was about to kill Chen Yuanyuan, but I stopped him, so I could only bite the bullet and say: "Although Chen Yuanyuan deserves death, she is Wu Sangui's wife, and King Fu has already killed Wu Xiang, do you still want me to be the second King of Fu and completely let Wu Sangui rebel against the court?" ”

I'm just an excuse, but in order to save Chen Yuanyuan, I can only say that.

Seeing my statement like this, everyone didn't dare to say more, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't stop crying, hugged my feet and said: "Thank you for the emperor's grace not to kill, the people's daughter is sorry for the emperor, the people's daughter should die!" ”

I really wanted to comfort Chen Yuanyuan, but with so many people watching, I could only scold: "The drama is wrong, don't retreat quickly!" ”

Damn it! My heart hurts when I say this, Chen Yuanyuan originally respected me very much, but I scolded her, I don't know how much time it will take to repair her wounded heart.

Chen Yuanyuan retreated with tears in his eyes, and everyone advised me to leave Suzhou as soon as possible.

In particular, Zheng Chenggong told me to go directly to Fujian along the coastal road, saying that his sailors would be stationed in Xiamen, and asked me to proclaim the emperor in Fuzhou first, and then plot against the Central Plains.

To tell the truth, Zheng Chenggong's strategy is very good, I must have promised before I did it, at least I would be safe when I went to Xiamen, even if it was not good, I could retreat to Taiwan and be an emperor of peace.

But I'm no longer the emperor who just wanted to survive and steal his life, if I want to revive the Ming Dynasty, I must focus on the overall situation, if I go to Fuzhou to claim the emperor, King Fu will definitely send people south to attack.

Now the Ming Dynasty has limited troops, and it has to resist the thieves and the Qing army, if there is another civil war and cannibalism, it will be completely finished.

Thinking of this, I said, "I know that you are doing it for my own good, but I can't just care about my own safety and ignore my own safety. Although it is good for Fuzhou to be called emperor, how can a country have two monarchs? Since King Fu became the emperor in a bad name, I believe that as long as I appear alive in Nanjing, the civil and military officials will naturally be distinguished! ”

"Your Majesty, you must not!" The crowd knelt down.

Seeing them so faithful to me made me cry when I was so moved to death, something I would never have thought of before I crossed over.

"Get up! As long as I don't die for a day, I will do my best for the people of the world. ”

Dude, I really say this from the bottom of my heart, without exaggeration.

"Listen, if you go to Nanjing and I am killed by King Fu, you can't declare personal vendettas, you must be loyal to the court, and the Ming Dynasty can't be messed up because of my death."

"The emperor has his own heavenly appearance, and he will definitely restore the Ming Dynasty!" Everyone said in unison.

I let out a long sigh and then ordered the guards to turn the bow of the ship and go straight to Nanjing!
