Following Tan Xiao and the others, the messenger sent by Fu Guan also arrived the next day.

"After the captive chieftain Zierharang was conferred, His Majesty and the Manchu Dynasty were speculating about when the military gate would be able to recover Nanjing, but no one expected it to be so fast, when the news reached Guilin, the people of the city were all overjoyed, and the general constitution repeatedly asked whether the news was conclusive, and at that time he shed tears on his clothes and shouted to the sky......"

The general constitution is another name for the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Palace, referring to Fu Guan, although this prince is old, but he is a man of temperament, and he has always been loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and it is not surprising that he cried on the spot after hearing that Nanjing was recovered.

Fu Guan belongs to a relative conservative faction within the Chuxun Group, and many times he disagrees with young people like Wang Kefan, and is often pushed forward, but there is always a feeling of hesitation and uneasiness in his heart, where does this road lead? Is it right or wrong to go on like this? He had been worried. The good news of the Chu army's recovery of Nanjing finally made Fu Guan temporarily let go of his heavy worries, cry and laugh happily, and the old man talked about the madness of his youth...... During this time, the controversy in the south of the Yangtze River and the spread to Guilin, the Chu Xun group was under tremendous pressure, and the Chu army recovered Nanjing in time, which once again improved the cohesion and influence of the Chu Xun group, and the top and bottom became more united, raised their eyebrows, launched a counterattack, and further improved and consolidated their political status in the Longwu court.

"A few days ago, because of the two articles made by the military gate, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and those people did not dare to directly slander the military gate, so they scolded Jin Shenghuan and Qian Qianyi in unison, and held grievances for Yang Tinglin, intending to set up another governor or economic strategy in the three provinces south of the Yangtze River to balance the Northern Expedition Governor, and many excerpts to impeach Chu Xun and his party suddenly appeared. As soon as the news of the reconquest of Nanjing arrived, the gang were busy discussing when to return the capital to Jiangnan, and there were no more excerpts of impeachment, and the superintendent and the scripture were gone, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief......"

The controversy storm that swept up from the south of the Yangtze River represented the struggle between the Wuxun warlords and the civil emperor, and challenged the old political structure of the Ming Dynasty, although the alliance between the civil officials and the emperor was defeated in the south of the Yangtze River, Guilin was their base camp, when the turmoil reached Guilin, the civil official group immediately blew up the nest, jumped up and slapped the table and scolded the mother, and launched a fierce attack on the Chu Xun group headed by Fu Guan, the civil and military officials of the Chu Xun group were isolated, even Fu Guan, Wen An and Lu Minyuan such big people, They are also clearly excluded from the center of power, and they are not informed of many important matters, and they do not even have the right to know, let alone the right to speak and vote.

In fact, most of the civilian officials of the Southern Party, the Imperial Party, and the Donglin Party also knew that without the Chu army in front, the Southern Ming Dynasty would be in danger of losing the country at any time, so they were relatively tolerant of Wang Kefan, who led troops abroad. Anyway, out of sight and out of mind, as long as Wang Kefan doesn't interfere too deeply in the court and doesn't directly infringe on their rights, even if he occasionally goes back to Guilin to make a big fuss, everyone can pinch their noses and endure it. For example, Wang Kefan robbed the treasury, so what does it matter? The money in the treasury is all state, and it is also a serious use to pay the Chu army, so I can't do it for this matter and Wang Kefan, who is in the limelight...... What's more, Wang Kefan left Guilin after robbing the treasury, the cabinet boss in the court is still the cabinet boss, the six Shangshu is still the six Shangshu, there is no loss of a single hair, the Longwu New Deal is still abolished, the civil official group still controls the government, and Wang Kefan naturally smiled indifferently when he mentioned it, when the court is employing people, there is no need to be with the reckless martial artist with a 205 temper.

If it weren't for the glorious victory of Ningzhen, which completely broke the political balance of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and if it weren't for the Donglin Party's desire to fish in troubled waters, Emperor Longwu and the civil official group would not have taken the risk of suppressing the Wuxun group when the Chu army had just won a big victory...... When the suppression failed, Emperor Longwu and the civil official group's first reaction was to retreat, not daring to completely turn their faces with Wang Kefan.

The Chuxun Group, headed by Fu Guan, Wen An and others, is completely different.

They are traitors to the civilian-official group, and they are the spokesmen of Wang Kefan's party in the Longwu court, always fighting for the interests of Huguang and competing with other forces for the limited resources of the Longwu court...... For many civil officials, the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are certainly a big cake, but they are too far away to eat for a while, and the people, money, and materials in the Guilin court are all kinds of power, but they are close to the benefits, and the civil official group does not dare to completely turn the other cheek with Wang Kefan, so they lower their standards and choose the Chu Xun group, which has deep grievances, as the target of attack.

Just when Fu Guan and others were under the greatest pressure, the news of the reconquest of Nanjing came, and the civilian-official group immediately split into two factions, fighting with each other, and could no longer care about attacking the Chuxun group.

"Now in Liangguang and Guizhou, and Nanjing, the voices are very high, there are heated discussions in the Shilin officialdom, and many people in the second and third grades also agree, although His Majesty has many concerns, it is not good to go against the will of the people." The messenger introduced: "On the first day of my arrival, Mr. Ji'an entered the palace and hit his head on the ground before driving, crying and begging to return to Nanjing immediately, and the princes of Donglin knelt down for a large part, and refused to get up for two hours, His Majesty was very embarrassed at that time, and the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military were all seen with their own eyes at that time......"

In favor of returning the capital to Nanjing, mainly middle and lower-level officials and folk squires, the main force among the high-level officials is the Donglin Party, although the Donglin Party is not as good as a chicken on the ground, but Huang Jin is still very influential, Emperor Longwu also has to be honored in front of him Mr. Lao, the old gentleman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his head, plus a group of disciples and grandchildren of the Donglin Party, if Emperor Longwu refused to return the capital to Nanjing, it would immediately cause a turmoil.

There are many people!

Not only the Donglin Party, the folk gentry and lower-level officials are covering all aspects, most people support Nanjing, in their opinion, Guilin, which is located in a corner of Guangxi, is just a temporary refuge for the exiled court, Nanjing can take on the heavy responsibility of the capital of a country, the Ming Dynasty has "the Son of Heaven guards the country" since ancient times, since Nanjing has been recovered, Emperor Longwu should of course not be afraid of danger, come to Nanjing in person, preside over the overall situation.

Guarding the river must guard the Huai? Then the Northern Expedition to capture Jianghuai, the Southern Song Dynasty can hold out for more than a hundred years, but also because of the Jianghuai to the death, if Emperor Longwu has been shrinking in Guilin, the rear, let the world see how to think, how to think, isn't it even inferior to Zhao Gou of the Southern Song Dynasty...... The pressure of public opinion everywhere is so strong that even the emperor does not dare to confront it head-on, although he has many worries in his heart, he has a hard time arguing.

Although Yang Tinglin was defeated this time, if the Longwu Imperial Court moved back to Nanzhili as a whole, it would have a fierce struggle with the Wuxun group headed by Wang Kefan. Taking a step back, even if the Donglin Party has been in a slump since then, returning to Nanzhili or at least returning to his hometown, it is better for individuals to seek comfort and pleasure than to stay in remote Guilin all the time.

In addition to the Donglin Party, the hardliners in the civilian clique also advocated the return of the capital to Nanjing in order to suppress the Wuxun clique, which was about to get out of control. In their opinion, Yang Tinglin's failure this time was just an accident, as long as the Longwu court moved back to Jiangnan, it could be redeemed, Emperor Longwu himself and the six departments of the imperial cabinet were staying in Nanjing, and the alliance formed by Wang Kefan, Zheng Chenggong, Jin Shenghuan, including Fu Dingquan, would naturally collapse, and Wang Kefan would not be able to turn the sky on the side of a Northern Expedition.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains!

Wang Kefan challenged the basic political structure of "the Son of Heaven and scholars rule the world together", and the civilian-bureaucratic clique must fight back, this is a life-and-death struggle, and Emperor Longwu and the Longwu court must immediately return to Nanjing, and cannot hide in Guilin all the time...... In addition to suppressing the Wuxun group, Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, is also a trouble that must be solved by doing his best, and if he wants to annex the Lu king's regime, returning the capital to Nanjing is the best opportunity. You must know that the monarch's power is granted by God, the Son of Heaven adheres to the will of heaven to govern the world, Emperor Longwu has worshiped the filial piety tomb, worshiped the Taimiao, worshiped the altar of the Heaven and Earth Society, and then sat on the Jinluan Treasure Hall in the Forbidden City of Nanjing to issue an edict, which is the righteous Ming Zhengshuo, and Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, can only receive the edict and abdicate to the domain.

The only people who had concerns about the capital of Nanjing were Emperor Longwu himself and some high-ranking officials.

They are at the pinnacle of power, they have more information, and they know the strength of Wang Kefan's faction best...... Without enough army and broad support from all levels of society, how can Wang Kefan compete with a group of civilian officials wearing black hats? When Emperor Han Xian first entered Xuchang, there were also a group of loyal ministers around him, and in the end, they were not cleaned up by Cao Cao one by one.

The territory that the Longwu Imperial Court really controls now is only Guangdong, Guangxi, eastern Guizhou, and southern Jiangxi, and if it rashly leaves its foundation and enters Nanjing, which is actually controlled by Wang Kefan, the court will inevitably be controlled everywhere, and there are great risks hidden in it...... In addition to this reason, Zhu Cihuan, the third prince of Zhu, suddenly appeared in Yunnan, which made Emperor Longwu dare not take the capital back to Nanjing, the Longwu court stayed in Guilin, Sun Kewang was still a little jealous, if the capital was still Nanjing, the Tiangao Emperor would be far away Yunnan would completely lose control, in case one day Sun Kewang would support Zhu Cihuan as emperor, which side Guangxi and Guangdong would support, Emperor Longwu himself was not very sure.

That's the genuine Prince Chongzhen, the Yongwang of the year!

Guiwang Zhu Youlang has made Emperor Longwu like a great enemy, but the threat of Yongwang Zhu Cihuan is several times greater, Emperor Longwu can be sure that as long as Sun Kewang plays the banner of Zhu Cihuan, there will be a large number of civil and military generals who will be shaken, and they are also the most loyal courtiers to the monarch's father, at that time, the best result is that the Southern Ming Dynasty is divided, the Yongwang regime and the Longwu regime are separate, and the more likely result is that the two Guang fall to the Yongwang regime, and Emperor Longwu loses his only foundation and completely becomes Wang Kefan's puppet, the worst result, It was Emperor Longwu who rebelled and left his relatives and stepped down directly.

All in all, it is certain that there is still Nanjing, but now is not the time.

The only one who unconditionally supported Emperor Longwu was the Southern Party.

The Southern Party, headed by He Wusu, hoped that the political center of the Longwu Imperial Court would remain in Liangguang, and if the capital was still Nanjing, Chu Xun, the Donglin Party, and the Imperial Party might all benefit, and even the pro-Gui faction could get a more relaxed living space, and only the Southern Party was destined to lose...... The Northern Expedition is of course very important, but it is equally important to lay a good foundation for the two Guangzhous, and Emperor Longwu can sit in Guilin and command the Northern Expedition remotely, which also avoids sending sheep into the tiger's mouth and having a fierce conflict with Wang Kefan.

Like them, Emperor Longwu's various concerns could not be explained to outsiders, so he had to offer the magic weapon of "procrastination" and announced that he was going to return to Nanjing, but there was a lot of preparation to be done before leaving, and all aspects must be arranged properly.

If you drag it out, maybe there will be a turnaround.

Emperor Longwu is now fighting on two fronts, both to deal with Wang Kefan and Sun Kewang, the lesser of two evils, Sun Kewang controls the Yongwang Zhu Cihuan and directly threatens the emperor throne of Emperor Longwu, so he decided to make significant concessions to Wang Kefan, try to get the support of the Wuxun warlords, first solve Sun Kewang's threat, and then go back to clean up the mess.

The envoy gave an account of the information he had learned, and finally said: "His Royal Highness Yongwang suddenly appeared in Yunnan, which was originally extremely secretive, and it was not until I came that the general constitution learned the truth from His Majesty's mouth. His Majesty ordered the general constitution to pass on the message to the military gate, but because of the changes in the southwest, the imperial court could not return the capital to Nanjing for the time being. ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Eternity...... Can you confirm the authenticity? Wang Kefan was very surprised, frowned and asked, "Where did this person come from, how could he suddenly appear in Yunnan?" It has been six years since the Jiashen Change, if this person is really His Royal Highness the Eternal King, where has he been hiding all these years, what experiences have he had, and who else are there around him? ”

Wang Kefan's first feeling was that this was an imposter...... Isn't the third prince Zhu Yang Qilong? There is no such person in history!

But if you think about it carefully, if this was an impostor, Sun Kewang and Emperor Longwu would not be so serious. In Wang Kefan's memory, the whereabouts of several princes of Emperor Chongzhen are unknown, but the historical development of this time and space has deviated from the original trajectory, because of the butterfly effect, it is entirely possible that Sun Kewang happened to find a prince of Chongzhen.

It's an annoyance!

"Sun Kewang, this guy is really shit luck." Wang Kefan has a headache, but also faintly has a feeling of envy and jealousy, if Zhu Cihuan plays this card well, the top 10,000 armored elite soldiers, if the Yongwang Zhu Cihuan is not in Yunnan, but falls into his hands, there will be more things to do......
