Chapter 424: Zhu Yousong
readx; Since the blessed king Zhu Changxun was not in the banquet hall, Zhu Youzhen's first reaction was to leave quickly, continue to look for the red lady elsewhere, and never let her be humiliated. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But he looked at Li Zhenyan at the entrance of the hall, only to see her shaking her head slightly, signaling that the other special combat team members had not yet found the target. Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel anxious, but he was helpless, secretly thinking that there were no less than a thousand houses in King Fu's Mansion, and trying to find someone to come out was like looking for a needle in a haystack. If you look for it so aimlessly, I'm afraid that if you find Tianming, you may not be able to find the red lady, so it's really too late.
Qi Meifeng, who came in with him, approached him and whispered: "It's not a way to go on like this, why don't you scratch your tongue and ask?" ”
Zhu Youzhen shook his head, thinking that he might not be able to. The attendants of the palace are all in charge of each section, and they may not know where Zhu Changxun or the red lady is, and they must have a higher status or a direct manager.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen suddenly remembered the young man who presided over the banquet on behalf of Zhu Changxun. Since he calls himself "Little Wang", he thinks that he is the heir of Zhu Changxun, and he must have a very high status in the palace. Now that he's in front of him, it's better to eavesdrop and see if you can find some clues in his conversation. In case there are still no clues, if you can catch this guy, it will definitely be much more useful than catching ordinary servants.
So Zhu Youzhen whispered to Qi Meifeng to send a message to Li Zhenyan, so that she still led the special combat team members to continue the secret search, while she and Qi Meifeng stayed in the banquet hall. Anyway, the defense of the palace is extremely lax, and there is no danger in staying here for a while.
Then he continued to disguise himself as a servant, and diligently poured wine from tablecloth to tablecloth, while deliberately leaning over the young man's main table.
Those who can sit at this table are naturally the highest-ranking people in Luoyang City. In addition to the young man, Zhu Dadian, the prefect of Luoyang, was also among them, and the rest were also either officials or eunuchs, all of them were full of fat and fat, and at first glance, they were all people who had absorbed the people's fat and ointment.
I only heard that Zhu Dadian picked up the wine glass and said respectfully: "Xia Guan heard that the prince has just been established as the prince and has been awarded the title of king of Dechang County, which is really gratifying!" This glass of wine is a tribute to the prince, and I wish the prince happiness like the East China Sea! ”
The young man didn't hold the prince's shelf, and he also raised his glass and said with a faint smile: "How dare Lord Lao Zhu respect each other." Father and You Song have been in Luoyang for more than ten years, and during this time, they have been taken care of by all the adults here. My father can't attend today, so I will take him to thank you, and I will do it first. ”
As he spoke, he tilted his neck and drank the wine from his glass. The other people at the table also hurriedly accompanied the wine, and diligently filled Zhu Yousong again.
When Zhu Youzhen heard the name Zhu Yousong, his heart moved. He secretly thought that in the original period of history, after Emperor Chongzhen, that is, he hanged the coal mountain, the Jingshi was first occupied by Li Zicheng's Dashun army, and then stolen by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the Ming court did not perish.
Originally, there were two capitals in the north and south in the Ming Dynasty, and some ministers supported the enthronement of Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu, in Nanjing, and the year name was "Hongguang", which was called "Nanming" in history.
However, this Southern Ming Dynasty is really short-lived. At present, the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government are still busy playing party disputes, and the so-called "four towns of Jiangbei" Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, and Huang Degong have hundreds of thousands of troops, but they do not want to resist foreign aggression, but frequently kill each other.
It is said that after Zhu Yousong himself was lucky enough to get the throne, he did not want to make progress, and only focused on spending time drinking and playing with beautiful women. Even when the Qing army was about to enter the city, he was still looking for someone to catch toads and prepare aphrodisiacs, so the people of Nanjing ridiculed him as "the son of the toad".
With such constant internal friction and getting by, Nan Mingyan has the reason to be immortal. In less than a year, the Manchu Qing Dynasty who went south broke through Nanjing, and Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang Emperor, was also captured and escorted to Jingshi Lingchi to be executed. Speaking of which, the emperor in Chinese history died the worst, and I am afraid that this one can be counted.
However, the Zhu Yousong in front of him doesn't look like a stupid person, at least much stronger than his father of more than 300 catties. He was slender, full of energy, and his eyes were piercing; When Zhu Youzhen secretly observed him, Zhu Yousong still seemed to be aware of it, and his eyes swept towards this side like electricity. Frightened, Zhu Youzhen shrank his neck and hurriedly hung his head to serve the dishes.
Fortunately, Zhu Yousong didn't care, and still drank and talked with the officials at the same table. After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Dadian took out a few silver tickets from his arms, handed them to Zhu Yousong with a smile on his face, and said: "Lord, it is a great joy for you to be crowned the prince, and the lower officials have nothing to congratulate, this 10,000 taels of silver tickets is not a tribute, and I hope the prince will accept it with a smile." If the prince can say a few kind words in front of King Fu Chitose, and the old Chitose blows the wind to the court again, the lower officials will be grateful! ”
As soon as he took out the money, the other officials at the table also presented the silver tickets that had been prepared long ago. This is also the "legal procedure" of King Fu's banquet, and everyone already knows it.
Zhu Youzhen saw it but hated it so much, and secretly thought that he was so blatantly bribed, and it had become a "common practice", which shows how far the imperial court has become! And these officials have invested here, and they will surely intensify their efforts to make money and pass on the losses to the people. No wonder the thieves hate King Fu so much, and they don't know how many people starved to death in exchange for his fat body!
was thinking about it, but saw Zhu Yousong waving his hand and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, You Song also knows his father's set, and to be honest, he doesn't approve of it." It happens that my father is not here today, so I will be exempt from this. In the future, when my father asked, Song Yili would bear it. As for what you are asking for, You Song has already taken it to heart, so don't worry. You Song is already a weak crown year, and there will be more places that rely on you in the future! ”
When he said this, everyone was stunned. It was still Zhu Dadian's brain that turned quickly, immediately put away the silver ticket, and said gratefully: "The prince is so virtuous, the lower officials are very respectful!" In the future, if there is a place where the lower officials can be used, the lower officials will go to the soup and go to the fire, and they will not hesitate! ”
Zhu Youzhen also suddenly realized at this time, it turned out that Zhu Yousong was buying people's hearts! It seems that the records in the history books are not fully credible, this Zhu Yousong is scheming, and he is by no means a drunkard. In the future, Luoyang City was broken, Zhu Changxun died, but Zhu Yousong was able to escape and ascend the throne as emperor, which seems to be no accident.
But now Zhu Youzhen doesn't have the heart to think about what Zhu Yousong's ambitions are, what he cares about most is the position of Zhu Changxun or the red lady. It happened that an official asked flatteringly: "Lord Wang, I don't know where the old Chitose is unhappy, do you want to find a famous doctor to diagnose and treat it?" ”
Zhu Yousong frowned slightly, and said vaguely: "Father is not seriously ill, but he is sick and is resting in Weiyang Palace." ”
The officials were immediately stunned. The word "Weiyang" in this Weiyang Palace comes from the Book of Songs? A sentence in "Xiaoya": "How is the night? The night is not young. During the Western Han Dynasty, the emperor's harem was named Weiyang Palace, the so-called night Weiyang, which is synonymous with all-night fun. Whoever gave this name to the palaces of the Hereafter must have been used as places of communion; Since the old Chitose is there, it is self-evident what kind of illness he has.
Of course, Zhu Youzhen is not as knowledgeable as many officials, but the three words "Weiyang Palace" are enough! He hurriedly walked out of the banquet hall and whispered to Li Zhenyan, who was waiting outside: "People are in Weiyang Palace, go quickly!" ”
