Chapter 11: Three Fires for New Officials to Take Office (Part II)

In the early morning of the second day, in the imperial palace of Jinling City, Nanjing, Zhu Youzhen was chatting with Wang Chengen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Chengen, do you know why I want to marry Chen Yuanyuan to Li Menghui?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

"The ministers don't know." Wang Chengen replied.

He didn't dare to speculate on the holy will easily, and even if he knew, he had to pretend not to know.

"Li Menghui is an immortal, I have observed through these two months, I found that he does not love money, and he does not love power, and even this Suzhou prefect is still forced to him." Zhu Youzhen sighed, and then said: "Fortunately, Li Menghui still has a hobby, that is, he loves beauty, according to my observation, he likes Chen Yuanyuan, so I simply have adult beauty." ”

It's a pity that Li Hongfei didn't hear this, otherwise he would definitely slap himself a few times.

It's okay to pretend to be high, as if you don't eat the fireworks in the world, as an "immortal family", even if you want an official, you only need a nine-grade sesame official, can Chongzhen not think so?

In order to win over Li Hongfei, Zhu Youzhen gave him a beauty, and even left a "back hand", stipulating that Li Hongfei must defeat Wu Sangui before he can get married, which invisibly put a tight spell on Li Hongfei, so that before he destroyed Wu Sangui, he could only honestly put his mind on helping Zhu Youzhen govern the country and strengthen the army.

As everyone knows, Li Hongfei is actually more anxious than Zhu Youzhen, he is not familiar with life in this Ming Dynasty, even if he runs away, he has no sense of direction.

And now it's not a harmonious society, killing someone here is similar to pinching an ant to death, if you don't quickly gain a foothold in this Daming, you don't know how to die at that time.

"Your Majesty." Wang Chengen said.

As the emperor's henchman, he must know the technique of being able to pat on the back anytime and anywhere.

Just when the two were greeting, an urgent official document was sent from outside, and it was transmitted from Li Hongfei in Suzhou.

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, this Li Menghui only took office yesterday, and there is an urgent official document coming over today, it seems that this Suzhou is going to make a big move!" Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.

Zhu Youzhen is still very confident that Li Hongfei's army and Shang Fang's sword can't govern a small Suzhou, so Li Hongfei, an "immortal", is really a waste.

"This Li Menghui is also an immortal, why is the handwriting so ugly?" Zhu Youzhen looked at Li Hongfei's plan and felt very difficult.

"Your Majesty, the handwriting of this immortal family has its own immortal style, and according to legend, the words of Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain are also incomprehensible to many people." Wang Chengen explained.

Zhang Tianshi is a Taoist priest who catches ghosts, and his words are ghost drawings according to modern people, and it is strange that ordinary people can understand them.

"You also look at this set of methods written by Mr. Menghui, I feel very good, if this move can be successful, the problem of the empty treasury will be greatly alleviated." After Zhu Youzhen read it with great difficulty, he handed the plan to Wang Chengen and concluded.

"It's a good way, it's just ....... If you follow Mr. Menghui's methods, you will offend a large number of people. Wang Chengen whispered after reading it.

"If you let the Qing soldiers go south, the Ming Dynasty will not be protected, so why care about offending a few people? Passing the decree, Jinling City's side, also let Shi Kefa move, talk to those people first, let's salute first and then soldier. Zhu Youzhen said to Wang Chengen.

Not only did he agree with Li Hongfei's approach, but he also began to implement this plan even in Nanjing.

Zhu Youzhen was a ruthless man, before the Beijing division was besieged, he even almost killed his relatives, although he fled to Nanming, but he knew that with today's troops, he could not resist the Qing soldiers going south, if you want to hold this half of the country, the only way is to break the cauldron and sink the boat.

There is no shortage of soldiers in the south, what is lacking is food, salary, weapons and equipment, and these things require a lot of money.

But where does the money come from?

Li Hongfei has already helped him think that he only needs Zhu Youzhen's approval, and now the situation is critical, even if he offends the people of the world, he Zhu Youzhen will not hesitate to do it.

"Please rest assured, the minister will arrange it, but this offending thing, Shi Ge Lao is not suitable, it is better for Dongchang to come forward." Wang Chengen said.

Anyway, Dongchang's reputation has long been stinky, and I don't care about a few more infamy.

"Cheng'en, I found that you are becoming more and more proficient at doing things now, don't worry, this matter is done, I will not treat you badly." Zhu Youzhen agreed.

"Sharing worries for the emperor is within the responsibility of the ministers." Wang Chengen said modestly.

"Alright, that's it. By the way, has there been news of a prince in the north recently? Since the East Factory was mentioned, Zhu Youzhen of course remembered the things he had told about the East Factory before.

"Emperor Qiqi, a few days ago, Dongchang did receive news from His Royal Highness the Prince, I heard that he was captured by Dolgon, and there is no danger to his life for the time being. There is another piece of news, which came this morning, Princess Changping is not dead, she was rescued by Liu Wenbing, the Shaoqing of the White Horse Temple, and now she has been found by the fans and escorted south. Wang Chengen replied.

After Zhu Chunchen surrendered to Li Zicheng, he handed Zhu Cihong over to Li Zicheng to dispose of, and Li Zicheng did not embarrass him, and named him the king of Song.

After Li Zicheng retreated, Wu Sangui returned to Beijing with Zhu Cihong, and established the year name Yixing, hoping to establish Zhu Cihong as the Ming Emperor, but was rejected by Dolgon, who later entered Beijing.

Now that the news of Zhu Youzhen's death has not yet reached the north, Wu Sangui will not do anything to Zhu Cihong in order to show his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, even if Dolgon wants to kill Zhu Cihong, he has to take Wu Sangui's feelings into account.

Once the news of Chongzhen's death reaches the north, even if Dolgon is afraid of Zhu Youzhen and will not kill Zhu Cihong immediately, he will be put under house arrest as an important bargaining chip.

If you don't act now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future.

"What? Didn't you die? ”

Zhu Youzhen stood up excitedly, his lips trembled, and even his voice trembled a little.

He was never so excited about the capture of his eldest son, after all, he owed his daughter too much........

The picture in the palace that day resurfaced in front of Zhu Youzhen's eyes again, Queen Zhou's crying, Empress Zhang's indifference, Princess Zhaoren's wailing, Princess Changping's Chu Chu pitiful, and the tragic scenes hit Zhu Youzhen's heart again.

Now that he learned that Changping was not dead, how could Zhu Youzhen not be excited.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is indeed not dead, she just lost too much blood and fell into a coma, but her highness's left arm and tendon were cut, even if he is cured, I am afraid he will not be able to pick up anything." Wang Chengen explained.

"It's good if people don't die, it's good if they don't die, tell your subordinates that you must bring the princess to Jinling safely." Zhu Youzhen said excitedly.

Zhu Youzhen's sons are either missing or captured, and now they are very relieved to learn that they have a daughter alive, I am afraid that Zhu Youzhen is the only relative in the world today.
