Zhu Youxiao stood a little blankly and didn't say anything for a long time, he never thought that Wei Min'er would suddenly agree to the King of Chu's proposal, he couldn't help but think of the day Zhu Huakui, the King of Chu, asked to see him and made a special trip to ask him to allow Zhu Huakui, the King of Chu, to be the side room.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly asked Wu Jin: "Can Wei Min'er know this King of Chu before?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, I don't know, Wechen has already checked everything that Miss Wei can know in Jinling City, and according to where Wechen is, Miss Wei's promise to marry the King of Chu seems to be related to the persuasion of Miss Wei's cousin Ruan Dacheng", after Wu Jin answered truthfully, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "Although he has the meaning of his cousin, I'm afraid it has something to do with her hatred that I am her father's killer and wants to stay away from me." ”

So, thinking like this, Zhu Youxiao asked Wu Jin to retreat first, and he needed to be alone for a while now.

From Jinling to Wuchang, Zhu Youxiao chose to take a boat up the Yangtze River, and the newly trained navy was also escorted by Qin Botong, which could be regarded as a practice of an inland river cruise, which could improve their operation at the helm and use of the new steam-powered ships for the newly formed Praetorian Navy soldiers, especially in the case of countercurrents.

When the moon is in the sky, the imperial boat on the silver river is rippling slightly, and the naval warships guarding the surroundings are still like giants in front, but they are also silent, Zhu Youxiao has a sense of loss for the first time, the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in front of him and the thousands of people who are in control of their fate have brought him an unparalleled sense of achievement, but he also forgot that he is just an ordinary person, a person with selfish desires, not a pure god.

"I'd rather be a vassal king's side room, but also refuse me, and I still naively think that as the king of a country, I can control a person's will", Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly, he couldn't help but stand up, and shouted at the vast river, the guards and soldiers kept silent, even Wang Chengen didn't dare to come to persuade him, and silently stood on the other side of the deck with Li Mingrui.

No one dared to touch His Majesty's dragon scales at this time, and Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything after venting, and returned to the cabin after slapping the railing fiercely, the cabin was as cool as autumn, and Zhu Youxiao's mood was also extremely cold.

In the early morning, Zhu Youxiao just surfaced on the horizon as in the past, under the service of Ling Xin, after washing up, and after a little earlier, he began to review the recitals handed by the capital, these are some important military affairs, and they must not be sloppy at all, but many of them were proposed by Li Mingrui last night, so Zhu Youxiao was not too tired, and many affairs, Li Mingrui handled them very properly, so Zhu Youxiao simply threw them directly to Wang Chengen: "Accurate!" ”

Since Zhu Youxiao is approved, Wang Chengen also quickly wrote the word "Zhaozhun" in red on the concerto, but there are also one or two pieces of concert, Zhu Youxiao needs to hold it in his hand and think about it for a while, and at the same time will ask Wang Chengen's opinion.

"Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng Shangshu said that he and Mao Wenlong have decided to send 5,000 elites to cross the sea to the north, and contact more than a dozen Daming guards scattered on Sakhalin Island and its surrounding areas, and this time the main purpose is to bring them the necessary means of subsistence and firearms before the winter comes, and prepare to recapture the lost territory occupied by the Rakshasas, so as to achieve the purpose of consolidating the stronghold of Sakhalin Island and the Liaodong Peninsula to form a flank attack on the Manchus and Wu Xiangbu, but the materials need a total of three million silver dollars worth of goods, and ask the imperial court to allocate them."

Zhu Youxiao had been reading the recital for a long time, and his eyes were a little sour, so he simply didn't bother to read the recital anymore, so he asked Ling Xin, who was also literate, to read it to him.

"Well, Lu Xiangsheng is worthy of being the minister I rely on the most, and he is still very strategic, how did Elder Li Ge vote?"

Zhu Youxiao asked, and Ling Xin replied truthfully: "Li Ge Lao said that the extreme north is a bitter cold place, for several years, the soldiers and people of the local guard station have not been in contact with the imperial court, and they are living together with the local barbarians, and there is no wind in the Central Plains for a long time, and now it is futile to contact again, and it costs a lot of money, and it does not have to be so troublesome to remove the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as long as the domestic officials are clean and clear, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is only to choose a large general to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses." ”

"This Li Mingrui has a bad idea, but in the end, it is the opinion of a scholar, his strategy is not as good as Lu Xiangsheng, fight back, let them do it according to the advice of Scholar Lu, and the materials of three million silver dollars will be added to five million materials, remember, the real enemy of my tomorrow is not only the Qing official created by his Emperor Taiji, but also the tiger in the north."

"Understood", Wang Chengen responded, took the chapter from Ling Xin's hand, and crossed out the ticket written by Li Mingrui with a red pen, and commented next to it: "Do it according to the will of Scholar Lu"

Approval of red is the power of the master of ceremonies or the eunuch of the pen, Ling Xin naturally cannot overstep the bounds, she only has the qualifications to read, so when Wang Chengen approved the red according to Zhu Youxiao's meaning, she was already reading a book.

It took a morning for Zhu Youxiao to finish the backlog of redundant affairs overnight, a little tired, although he had asked Ling Xin and Wang Chengen to share most of the government affairs for him, but how to deal with these affairs still had to go through his brain circuits to deal with, and it still took mental work.

In the afternoon, Zhu Youxiao summoned Wu Jin as usual to listen to Wu Jin convey the latest news brought by Dongchang.

Zhu Youxiao did not disrupt the rhythm of his life because Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, wanted to marry Wei Min'er, as the ruler of a country, if he was in chaos, the whole country would also be in chaos.

But this doesn't mean that he will let things go out of his control, and if he can, he doesn't mind directly using brutal means to snatch Wei Min'er back first.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, has the heart of Sima Zhao, and everyone knows it, according to our informant report in Wu0chang, Zhu Huakui has been in secret contact with Zuo Liangyu, and Zuo Liangyu's men and horses have secretly assembled outside Wuchang City, and tonight Zhu Huakui is going to give a banquet to the political envoys of Huguangbu, the political envoys of the left and right, the envoys of the inspection and the officials of the Huguang Patrol according to the imperial history, the deputy envoy of the school, and the prefect of Wuchang, if these officials are willing to raise the banner of righteousness together, let them go, if they are unwilling, they will all be killed, and then the city gate should be opened as an internal state."

Wu Jin said and said: "According to their plan, they will immediately recruit soldiers and horses in Wuchang City, and then directly raise things, in the name of eradicating the traitors in the court, follow the will of Emperor Taizu Gao, and enter King Qin, the intention is naturally to go down to Nanchang first, and then go straight to Jinling City." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao asked: "What about the Praetorian Guards in Yueyang, as well as the Praetorian Guards in the direction of Xuzhou, how will he deal with Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu?" ”

"Their plan is to abandon Wuchang City, so that before Yueyang's Praetorian Guard Fu Hai Department rushes to Wuchang City, he can first take Nan 0 Chang, and use Nan 0 Chang, an easy and difficult place to attack, to prevent the Janissary Fu Hai Department from advancing eastward, and he, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, will also take advantage of this to come directly to Jinling City, and prepare to recruit displaced people along the way, expand the number of troops, so as to smash Huanglong!"

Chu King Zhu Huakui, Ruan Dacheng, Zuo Liangyu and others naturally didn't know that Dongchang had thoroughly understood their strategic deployment, but Zhu Youxiao didn't feel the approach of the crisis after listening to Wu Jin's report, but felt funny: "Who gave Zhu Huakui a bad idea, he was so sure that my Praetorian Guard would follow his will, knowing that he was going to fight under Nanchang City, and my Praetorian Guard was stupid to recapture Wuchang City?" ”

"According to insiders, it was Ruan Dacheng who suggested it, and Zuo Liangyu also agreed to this proposal, but Zuo Liangyu meant to his cronies that he did not agree with the strategy of the King of Chu, and the reason why he agreed was because he and his subordinates wanted to come to the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River to loot a wave in order to make a windfall, and they didn't care about whether the King of Chu was defeated or undefeated, and it was a big deal to defect."

After Wu Jin spoke, Zhu Youxiao didn't speak anymore and began to ponder, and then he realized that the point was not whether the rebellion of the king of Chu could succeed or whether it was a joke, but whether these unscrupulous and greedy and selfish landlord armies would take advantage of the chaos in the world to fish in troubled waters, poison the people, plunder the people's wealth, and destroy the economic foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

"These people who want to mess up my Daming and take the opportunity to burn and loot are the most hateful!"

Zhu Youxiao scolded fiercely, and then asked, "Do you find out the specific time of this Chu King Zhu Huakui?" ”

"On the third day of the next month, on the first day of the next month, the king of Chu will hold a big wedding ceremony, and take this opportunity to contact all forces, and then move on the third day of the first month", after Wu Jin finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao immediately instructed Wang Chengen to unfold the map, and he himself began to ponder the map, and only after a long time did he order: "Pass the order of the rich sea department, immediately rush to Hanyang, Qin Botong no longer need to protect me, immediately Shuojiang River, straight to Chibi, be sure to surround Wuchang Mansion for me before the first day of the next month." ”

After Zhu Youxiao said this, he ordered to go to Nan 0 Changcheng first, so as to prevent Chu King Zhu Huakui or Zuo Liangyu from escaping under the nose of the Praetorian Guards and quickly capture Nan 0 Chang and gain a foothold in northern Jiangxi.

……

Wei Min'er entered the Chu Palace, accompanied by Ruan Dacheng, because she had been to the palace, so the scale was grand, and the gorgeous Chu Palace's Mansion did not surprise her much, and even made Wei Min'er have a strong sense of strangeness, she felt that she was out of place here, and she didn't even know anyone.

However, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, was very emotional, not only gave Wei Min'er a lot of jewelry, gold and jade, but also brought Ruan Dacheng with a lot of rewards worth more than hundreds of silver dollars.

At the same time, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, also gave Wei Min'er an independent mansion for him to live in, and also equipped dozens of maids and ten small yellow doors to serve him, and at the same time, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, couldn't wait to start the auspicious day of the zodiac, and determined the day when he accepted the side room and the event.

But it is precisely because he is a little proud now, so he also ignores the ubiquitous Dongchang fanzi, so that such an important two time information will be found out by Dongchang after it is determined.

However, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, is still living in his own fantasy world, and after determining that it is the first day of the next month, Zhu Huakui began to order people to arrange silk and satin at home, but at the same time, he immediately met with Zuo Liangyu and others, and began to discuss the uprising and how to revolt.

For this reason, Zhu Huakui himself also sent his own scouts, but to investigate the situation in Wu 0 Chang and Nan 0 Chang cities, when he learned that the strength of the guards in these cities was already weak, and even only a few thousand old and weak, he also began to be a little complacent, thinking that he could stir up the world.

"The land of Jingchu has always been difficult to defend, instead of occupying Wu 0 Chang and waiting for Zhu Youxiao's imperial army to suppress it, it is better to occupy South 0 Chang, the Praetorian Guard is good at land warfare and neglects water warfare, and many soldiers in Zuo Liangyu are accustomed to water warfare, so as long as we occupy Nan 0 Chang City, we can resist Fu Hai Ministry, and after occupying South 0 Chang, we will go straight to Jinling City, which is unexpected."

Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, now likes to listen to Ruan Dacheng's strategic plan the most, and Ruan Dacheng himself is talking about painting and coloring, in their opinion, it seems that it is good to occupy Jinling City and divide the river.

However, Wei Min'er looked a little depressed, the more she knew that she was going to marry a vassal king, and it was a vassal king she didn't know, the more she was at a loss, but when she thought that it was the will of His Majesty today, she couldn't help but grit her teeth, and continued to cooperate with the people of the Chu Palace's mansion to tailor clothes for her, makeup and eyebrows.

Wei Min'er felt a little lost in her heart, secretly wondering if it weren't for his will, would she agree to her cousin marrying this Chu prince named Zhu Huakui.

But at the same time, Wei Min'er looked forward to whether Zhu Youxiao would suddenly appear at this time, and then let herself go back and continue to work in Daming Daily.

However, as soon as Wei Min'er thought that this was originally the will of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao today, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, secretly thinking that Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, was about to be her husband, and she couldn't still think about others at this time.

"Your Majesty, Huguang Governor Hou Sui this person is really harboring evil intentions, when the Praetorian Guard Fu Hai Department arrived in Weiyang, but at this time, a fire suddenly broke out in the city of Cangyang, the fire spread directly, in order to avoid more people dying in the fire, the Janissary Fu Dahai had to also participate in the rescue, but because of this delay in the marching time, afterwards, we found that the arson caused most of the city to be burned down by the factor of Huguang Governor Hou Sui, because according to the burning of the houses are the Huguang Governor Hou Sui's big butler."

After Wu Jin finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao nodded: "It seems that this Huguang Governor Hou Sui is indeed a person with different aspirations, and your people from Dongchang will immediately arrest him, but remember not to startle the snake, and at the same time order all departments to speed up and immediately surround Wu0chang Mansion." ”

Zhu Youxiao gave an order, went out of the cabin, and asked Wu Jin again: "Has the result of Fan Wencheng's interrogation come out, and how many ministers of the vassal kings and princes of the court and the central government have been contacted?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, you can be there within three days, according to your meaning, he has been arranged to be executed in front of Fan Zhongyan's grave Fan Wenzhenggong, this Fan Wencheng will let him honestly accept the punishment in front of the ancestors and ancestors of his Fan family," Zhu Youxiao said.
