Last year, Geng Jimao fell ill in Layue, and after being diagnosed and treated by Lang Zhong of the original Jingnan Palace, it was said that the prince was infected with a cold. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The disease of wind and cold can be severe or mild, but the severity of the disease is generally judged according to the person's age and physique. The elderly and infirm, this wind and cold can kill him, but Geng Jimao is in the prime of life, and his body has always been strong, he can pull the bow on the horse, and he can dance the knife when he gets off the horse, which is much more than his peers. Therefore, it stands to reason that this little wind and cold will not kill the strong Geng Jimao, but Geng Jimao's disease has not improved. In the first few days, I could still hold on, but later, I was bedridden and had to take medicinal soup every day. Not only that, but he often fell into a coma, and said some frightening and strange things in his dreams, which made the people who had to be served tremble when they heard it.

After Geng Jimao's death, the people in the palace who had served him were all transferred out by the original second steward Xiang Rong, removed the slave status, and gave the land and houses to be resettled in Xiangshan County, so what he said, no one knew, and no one dared to ask.

Geng Jimao nominally took the initiative to return, and Zhou Shixiang was in the plan of seeking a prince for himself, so he sent an invitation to the Yongli court. According to the rules, the Yongli court should continue to canonize Geng Jimao as the county king of the Ming Dynasty. When Guo Zhiqi, a university scholar, came to Guangdong last year, he also made a special trip to Jingnan Wangfu to visit Geng Jimao, and he also mentioned in his speech that he would play the matter of sealing the county for Geng Jimao. However, after Guo Zhiqi returned to Kunming, because of the tension of the war, and he couldn't ask Zhou Shixiang to be crowned king, it was really not good to mention Geng Jimao, the pseudo-prince, to Yongli, otherwise Yongli would order the puppet king to continue to be the county king of the Ming Dynasty, so where is Zhou Shixiang, the Guangdong hero who was awarded the title of Duke of Guangdong?

His own Fu Jin was occupied by Zhou Shixiang, and he was imprisoned in the palace, and his subordinates couldn't see him in the past, Geng Jimao was like a trapped beast in a cage, but his heart was stoic and abnormal, and he endured this shame and humiliation. When Zhou Shixiang returned to Guangzhou after the Great War, Geng Jimao personally stepped forward to lead the horse for him, which can be called serving before and after the saddle. This forbearance moved Zhou Shixiang, but it also brought him the disaster of killing.

Geng Jimao obviously did not die of illness, but was poisoned. The murderer is the second steward of Jingnan Palace, and the current chief steward of the Military Marshal's Mansion is Xiang Rong. Of course, there is no need to say who the main messenger behind the scenes is.

Geng Jimao didn't know that his forbearance did not bring him good luck, but brought him death. He has been hiding the anger in his heart in the Jingnan Palace, forcibly suppressing the anger that can burn the whole person, in order to wait for the canonization of the Yongli regime. The recognition of the Yongli court and the prince were very important to Geng Jimao, because it was his talisman and his chance to make a comeback.

If a great husband can have no wife for a day, how can he be without authority for a day?

Geng Jimao waited stupidly, however, he couldn't wait for news from Yunnan when he waited and waited, and his heart was depressed as you can imagine. As a result, a small wind chill made King Jingnan, who was in his prime, sick.

Although he didn't want to see Geng Jimao, the second or fifth boy, after Zhou Shixiang left, Song Xianggong, who was fully responsible for Guangdong affairs, always had to do something. At the beginning of the year, Song Xianggong sent people to invite good doctors to Jingnan Wangfu to treat Geng Jimao, but the conclusion that could be drawn is the same as that of those Langzhong brought by Geng Jimao from Liaodong in Jingnan Wangfu, it is that Jingnan Wang's heart is depressed and his blood is not smooth.

The famous doctors said it euphemistically, but Song Xianggong understood that this was saying that Geng Jimao would not survive. The time given by Lang Zhong was at most three months, but only two months, Geng Jimao died of illness, died in the middle of the night, in front of his wife Shi Yuanling. After his death, he closed his eyes.

Shi Yuanling sent a letter to Zhou Shixiang in February, in which he mentioned that as a wife, her husband was seriously ill and infected with the bed, so she should go back to the palace to serve her husband on the side of the sickbed. The husband is seriously ill and the wife takes care of it, this is human nature, Zhou Shixiang is not an unreasonable person, he replied to the letter and agreed, and asked Song Xianggong to give Shi Yuanling some convenience.

When Shi Yuanling returned to Jingnan Palace, Geng Jimao was speechless, and when he saw his wife coming back, his eyes flashed slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. Shi Yuanling also did his duty as a wife, serving by Geng Jimao's side day and night.

After Geng Jimao's death, Shi Yuanling cried a lot, but then summoned everyone in the palace as Chang Fujin and asked them to arrange a funeral for Geng Jimao according to the Manchu vassal royal rites.

Guangdong has been recovered, Geng Jimao's name is to vote, but it is actually a descendant, Shi Yuanling and a woman want to hold a funeral for Geng Jimao with the Manchu prince's ceremony, which makes the outside world talk about it. Song Xianggong did not stop it after knowing about this, as long as the feudal treasury allocated three thousand taels of silver dollars for Shi Yuanling's use.

Song Xianggong did not object, but some people objected.

Although Geng Zhongde and other old generals of the Jingnan Domain have doubts about Geng Jimao's death, they are already dead, and they suspect that there is a fart, can it be that they can bring people back to life? The reason why they objected to Shi Yuanling's funeral with the etiquette of the Manchu vassal king was because they wanted to obtain the posthumous name for Geng Jimao.

Although Geng Jimao died, his two sons were there.

Shi Yuanling used the Manchu vassal royal ceremony to hold Geng Jimao's funeral, but the Qing court had already ordered the world to cut Geng Jimao's Jingnan prince, and this funeral was a bit nondescript. This is still secondary, the important thing is that if this is done, what should Geng Jingzhong and his younger brother Geng Zhaozhong do?

Obviously, it is impossible for the Qing court to let Geng Jingzhong inherit any Jingnan princes, but the Ming Dynasty has a shadow to attack.

Geng Zhongde reported the funeral in Yuanzhou on behalf of the old people of Jingnan Domain, so that Zhou Shixiang could have an explanation for Geng Jimao's posthumous name. Geng Zhongde's opinion is that Geng Jimao should be awarded the title of king of the Ming Dynasty, so he died, and his son Geng Jingzhong should be feuded. As for what the title is, it doesn't matter.

Regarding Geng Jimao's death, Zhou Shixiang first expressed his sadness to Geng Zhongde, and then spread his hands and said a word to Geng Zhongde. This is very plain, it means that my Zhou Shixiang is just Xingpingbo, Geng Jingzhong's kid still wants to be the king?

Geng Zhongde proposed that the Yongli court had named Zhou Shixiang the prince, and for this matter, Zhou Shixiang was even more unrestrained, and there was news from Annan that Yongli had made himself a prince, but after all, no one had seen the holy decree, so this matter was still taken seriously. Moreover, Geng Zhongde wants Geng Jingzhong to be crowned the king, and the premise is that the Yongli court will give Geng Jimao the title of king, but now the court doesn't know where it is, what should I do? And is it feasible?

In the end, Geng Zhongde clarified his true intentions, that is, no matter what the Yongli Imperial Court thinks of Geng Jimao who "returned", and no matter where the Yongli Imperial Court is now, Zhou Shixiang, as the actual master of Liangguang, should give Geng Jimao an explanation.

The other meaning revealed in Geng Zhongde's words vaguely had the meaning of Geng Jimao, who was quite compensated by Zhou Shi for his death.

Zhou Shixiang pursed his lips, this matter is really hard to say, what he did to Shi Yuanling is not authentic, and he has become Geng Jingzhong's cheap father in a daze. Now that the real father of the family is calling himself dead, it seems that he should also make up for it.

"Guiyi Bo" is the title that Zhou Shi proposed to give to Geng Jimao, and agreed that Geng Jingzhong would be awarded this title. This is Zhou Shixiang's biggest regression, and it is already up to his mother to give Geng Jingzhong a return to righteousness.

Zhou Shi repeatedly emphasized to Geng Zhongde that this Guiyi Bo was only sealed by his own authority, and if the court did not recognize it, then he would give up.

What is the Yongli Imperial Court like now, what is Guangdong like, who is in charge, Geng Zhongde is clear, as long as Zhou Shixiang gives this Xingyi Bo, are you still afraid that Zhu Youlang, who doesn't know where he is, will oppose it? Besides, Zhou Shixiang is now His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the emperor's whereabouts are unknown, and it is not a big deal for His Royal Highness the Prince to confer an earl on his behalf.

Geng Jimao's matter ended with Guiyibo, and later, Zhou Shixiang proposed to let Geng Zhongde serve as the general of the newly built 14th town. (To be continued.) )
