Lu Wangfu

Zhu Yipai, the king of Lu, is the same as Zhu Cunji, the king of Qin, and he is also a big fat man of two or three hundred catties.

Fang Yuan had passed through Yanzhou Mansion two or three times, but he had never had the opportunity to come to Yanzhou City to visit Zhu Yipai, the king of Lu.

This was the first time he had seen Zhu Yipai, the king of Lu, in person, but he could clearly feel the deep anger and dissatisfaction of Zhu Yipai on the throne.

Fang Yuan noticed that the atmosphere was wrong when he entered the Lu Palace, and Zhu Yipai entertained him in the side hall of the palace, and the coarse tea and light rice were even difficult to swallow.

Fang Yuan didn't have to talk about pomp and circumstance, but Zhu Yi's high-minded attitude with obvious hostility made Fang Yuan secretly wonder where he had offended this Zhu prince.

Zhu Yipai said slowly, "Governor Fang, you caused trouble in Yanzhou Mansion last time, but you patted your ass and left, what are you doing now?" ”

"I just killed a few Manchu Tartars in Yanzhou Mansion before, which is also a disaster?"

Fang Yuan thought about it for a while, and then he knew the reason why Zhu Yipai was angry, originally King Lu planned to let the Manchu Tartars leave the Yanzhou Mansion when they had enough, but unexpectedly, Fang Yuan, the first bird, went to annihilate fifty Manchu Tartars, attracting the revenge of the Manchu army.

Whether it was the Ming bureaucrats, generals, or even the prince of the Zhu family, most of them were like such a bird, which made Fang Yuan very angry, and he couldn't care about the identity of the prince of the Zhu family, and scolded, "Annihilating the Manchu Tartars is also a disaster? King Lu, do you dare to say this in front of Your Majesty? ”

Zhu Yipai got up and pointed to Fang Yuanmian door and shouted, "Bold! Dare to talk to Prince Ben like this, anyway, the Manchu Emperor Taiji is wanted by you, His Majesty the Emperor is reluctant to send you to the Manchu Dynasty, I will arrest you and send you to the Manchu Dynasty, and I can eliminate the military disaster! ”

Facing Zhu Yipai, a mad dog who was already mad, Fang Yuan no longer needed to be polite to him, he also took the case, and said-for-tat, "With you, Zhu Yipai also dares to yell at me, I don't want your fiefdom anymore!" ”

"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! Come! ”

Zhu Yipai slammed the wine glass on the ground, and the soldiers of the Lu Wangfu, who had already been ambushed, poured out, surrounding the entire lobby.

The Chigutai guarding behind Fang Yuan was also awe-inspiring, and a hundred musketeers also took out their muskets that had already been loaded, and pointed them straight at Zhu Yipai, as long as Fang Yuan gave an order, they could immediately beat Zhu Yipai into a hornet's nest.

The two sides are tense if they don't agree with each other, and the fire is imminent!

"Wait!"

A young man in brocade came out of the back hall and stopped the two people who were about to merge.

The man arched his hand at Zhu Yipai and said, "Brother Wang, Governor Fang is the governor of the imperial court, and he came to Yanzhou Mansion to be the king of Qin, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is about to invade, so he should be the same enemy, and he can't kill each other!" ”

Zhu Yipai glared at the young man angrily, and scolded him sharply, "Zhu Yihai, is it me who is in charge of this Lu Palace, or are you in charge?" Am I King Lu, or are you King Lu? ”

Fang Yuan consulted history, Zhu Yihai is the younger brother of Zhu Yipai, and later the king of Lu of the Southern Ming court, after the collapse of the Southern Ming court, he and the Longwu regime of the Tang Dynasty fell against each other, and finally fled to Taiwan with Zheng Chenggong and others, and died of illness in Kinmen.

According to Fang Yuan's judgment, this Zhu Yihai ran into walls everywhere and still ran in all directions, until he was finally completely overthrown by Zheng Chenggong and died of old age in Kinmen, Taiwan.

Zhu Yihai didn't dare to clash head-on with Zhu Yi's faction, so he could only persuade him with kind words, "Since Brother Wang is not speculative with Governor Fang, he will go his own way and let Governor Fang and his party leave the city!" ”

Killing the governor of the imperial court must be a big crime to take away the fief, and Zhu Yipai is not a fool, in order to go to Fang Yuan in one breath to vent his anger.

Since Zhu Yihai handed over a ladder, Zhu Yipai was happy to go down the steps, "Okay, Fang Yuan, the Lone King has limited you to leave Yanzhou City within two days, and if you don't withdraw after the expiration date, you will be annihilated immediately!" ”

Zhu Yipai threw down such a threatening cruel sentence and returned to the back hall angrily.

Fang originally wanted to negotiate with Zhu Yipai on how to fight the Manchus, but he knew that the enemy was at the head, and Zhu Yipai still had personal grievances and was unwilling to cooperate with Fang Yuan.

He was also very helpless, so he could only tell Chigutai that the Xuanjia Army, who had ordered the Xuanjia Army to rest in the pavilion, was ready to withdraw from Yanzhou City.

Fang Yuan had just left the Lu Palace, but he saw Zhu Yihai, who had relieved the siege for him, chasing after him, and said to him, "Governor Fang, can you get together at the Yanzhou Mansion?" ”

"Yanzhou Mansion?"

Fang Yuan was slightly stunned, he really couldn't call this Zhu disciple who was not crowned king, and asked in amazement, "Master Zhu, King Lu has driven me out of Yanzhou City, what are you going to do in the mansion?" ”

Zhu Yihai didn't care if Fang Yuan's title was rude, he affectionately pulled Fang Yuan's arm and whispered, "I have been discussing military affairs with the prefect of Yanzhou, Deng Fanxi, and Deng Governor in order to resist the invasion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for several days. ”

Fang Yuan secretly calculated that Zhu Yihai, a prince of the palace who was not crowned king, actually made friends with the prefect of Yanzhou Mansion in the domain, which was also a big crime according to the law. At present, he has crossed the Lu King Zhu Yipai and privately befriended the governor Fang Yuan, it seems that this Zhu Yihai is really ambitious!

But whether Zhu Yihai has ambition or not is really not the focus of Fang Yuan's attention, what Fang Yuan needs is a helper who can fight against the Manchu invasion with the same enemy, Zhu Yihai is unwilling to cooperate, and it is the same to find Zhu Yihai to cooperate.

Deng Fanxi, the prefect of Yanzhou, is also recorded in history as a loyal and righteous man who resisted the Qing Dynasty and martyred the country, and he should be able to cooperate with these two people to resist the Qing Dynasty.

"Okay, please ask Zhu Gongzi to lead the way."

Fang Yuan followed Zhu Yihai to the Yanzhou Mansion and met Deng Fanxi, the prefect of Yanzhou.

Deng Fanxi ordered the officials to close the gate of the palace and took Fang Yuan and his party to a secret room to discuss important matters, while Chigutai could only guard outside the secret room.

Zhu Yihai and Deng Fanxi were mysterious, Fang Yuan was also curious, and asked in amazement, "Zhu Gongzi, Deng Zhifu, who are you?" ”

Deng Fanxi bowed his hand to Fang Yuan and said, "Governor Fang came in time, please stay in Yanzhou Mansion to resist the Manchu Qing Dynasty and save the people of Yanzhou Mansion!" ”

Resisting the Manchus in Yanzhou was exactly Fang Yuan's original plan, but he smiled noncommittally on his face, and asked in surprise, "It should be the prefect of Yanzhou and His Royal Highness King Lu who organized the defense against the Manchu invasion!" ”

Deng Fanxi sighed and said, "I have asked His Royal Highness King Lu many times to take out the gold and silver of the palace to recruit troops and sacrifice troops to improve morale, but His Royal Highness King Lu has blasted it out. Seeing that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was going to Yanzhou Mansion to take revenge again, I was also so anxious that I couldn't sleep at night! ”

Zhu Yihai also said, "Brother Wang, he only knows that he is greedy for wine and sticks to his family wealth, and he can't afford this heavy responsibility!" ”

Fang Yuan was secretly amused, the hint in and out of Zhu Yihai's words was already known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart, Zhu Yipai couldn't take on this heavy responsibility, so he killed him and replaced you Zhu Yihai as the king of Lu!

Zhu Yihai wanted to kill Zhu Yipai, in order to ascend to the throne of King Lu.

The reason why Deng Fanxi supported Zhu Yihai was that nine times out of ten he was really disappointed in Zhu Yi's various evil deeds.

Zhu Yihai is engaged in political conspiracy, but when it comes to military and political affairs, he knows nothing.

This is really in line with Fang Yuan's current taste, and if he conspired to do Zhu Yipai, who did not dare to fight the Manchu Dynasty, Fang Yuan naturally agreed with 10,000. In addition, Zhu Yihai did not know about military affairs, and the prefect Deng Fanxi did not know about military affairs, so the two could only obey each other's original words on the specific battle plan, so they had to save a lot of so-called disputes.

But now that Zhu Yihai is clearly digging a pit for Fang Yuan, proposing to kill a Prince Zhu Ming, and liquidating it in the future, who can get out of it? Zhu Yihai wanted to slaughter Zhu Yipai to get the throne of King Lu, but he didn't want to take the risk, and wanted to instigate Fang Yuan to slaughter, there is such a good thing in the world?

Fang Yuan pretended to be stupid and said, "Since His Royal Highness King Lu is unwilling to fight, I will go to Jinan Mansion to find Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong, to discuss again." ”

Zhu Yihai and Deng Fanxi looked at each other, they recruited Fang Yuan to come, just to use Fang Yuan's forces to eradicate Zhu Yipai. As soon as Fang Yuan left like this, the plan of the two of them was in vain.

Deng Fanxi hurriedly grabbed Fang Yuan and said, "Governor Fang, as soon as you leave like this, the people of Yanzhou Mansion can only let the Manchus slaughter, how can Governor Fang bear it?" ”

Zhu Yihai gritted his teeth and said, "Governor Fang, we Ming people don't say dark words, I hope to use the power of Governor Fang to kill my brother Wang, and I will ascend to the throne of King Lu, jointly resist the Manchu invasion, and save the people of Yanzhou Mansion from fire and water." ”

Fang Yuan was secretly amused, and the people of Yanzhou Mansion were represented by Zhu Yihai again.

He asked unhurriedly, "Murdering Prince Daming, that crime is not small!" If Zhu Gongzi becomes the king of Lu, how is it different from the current king of Lu? ”

Zhu Yihai saw that Fang Yuan was not very reluctant to kill Zhu Yipai, and hurriedly said loudly, "I will pour out all the wealth of the Lu Wangfu and hand it over to Governor Fang and Governor Deng for recruiting troops and sacrificing the army, organizing the army and people of Yanzhou Mansion, hating the same enemy, and guarding Yanzhou!" ”

He readily agreed to donate all the family wealth of the Lu Wangfu, not because he was more generous than Zhu Yipai, but because he was generous to others. Anyway, this money is not his Zhu Yihai's, and if he can exchange it for the position of King Lu, it will be a lot of money.

What Fang Yuan wanted was what he said, no matter whether Zhu Yipai or Zhu Yihai were willing to come out and lead the Yanzhou army and people to resist the Manchus, they were worthy of sitting in the seat of King Lu. Zhu Yi sent that waste prince, and the soldiers were still busy engaging in infighting under the city, so if they didn't kill him, they would stay and wait for the New Year? !

Fang Yuan also readily agreed to Zhu Yihai's plan to slaughter Zhu Yipai, "Okay! Since Zhu Gongzi is willing to kill his relatives for the sake of the people of Yanzhou Mansion, we also followed Zhu Gongzi to do this vote for the sake of the people of Yanzhou Mansion! ”

Seeing that he finally agreed, Deng Fanxi hurriedly got up and said, "The people of Yanzhou Mansion will definitely thank Governor Fang for his benevolence and righteousness!" ”

Fang Yuan only felt ridiculous in his heart, none of the people of Yanzhou Mansion were present, but they were directly represented by the three of them in the secret room, what a hot irony!
