Chapter 481: Marriage
Yongli's laughter echoed in the hall for a long time, Guangdong Xingping said that tens of thousands of troops protected him as the emperor, and Sun Kewang also said that hundreds of thousands of troops protected him as the emperor, but what was the result?
At the beginning, he wanted to ask him for the title of King Qin, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty shouted together, and no one objected to this matter, so Chen Bangfu and others even hid from him to forge the golden seal and canonize him, and finally let him pinch his nose and admit the matter; And Xingping had been an official with him that day, and today there are scholars of the imperial court who asked for the title of king for him, and sent envoys to ask for the punishment of "traitors", threatening tens of thousands of troops to protect him and the court, this scene seems to be very familiar
After laughing, Yongli Qiangang was arbitrary, and he said to the ministers: "The tens of thousands of troops of the King of Jin are still there, the imperial court is still there, and the soldiers and civilians of Yunnan Province are still there, how can I go to his Guangzhou?" It was really a last resort, and I learned from Emperor Xiaolie to be martyred. These words were addressed not only to the courtiers, but also to the envoy of Canton.
The emperor suddenly spoke like this, and said it extremely tragically, which was very different from the emperor known by the ministers. The emperor in their eyes abandoned his wife and children when there was a disturbance, and left behind countless civil and military officials who followed him, regardless of the country's society and the safety of the court, and only cared about fleeing for his own life. Now, the emperor said that he really learned from the martyrdom of the first emperor Chongzhen at a critical moment, and the contrast was so great that the whole palace was surprised by the civil and military forces.
Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, was also shocked, just when he was shocked, Yongli suddenly came to his side and said to him: "I have made up my mind, the king of Jin can fake Huang Yue to go out on my behalf, Gongchang Wang Bai Wenxuan, Qingyang Wang Feng Shuangli, Hanyang Wang Ma Jinzhong, Huaiguo Gong Ma Bao, Xuguo Gong Ma Weixing and other generals will be under the control of the Jin King, I burn incense and pray for the Jin King every day in Kunming, hoping that the Jin King will pass on the good news as soon as possible." The words are extremely sincere, and he really entrusted his life to Li Dingguo.
"The ministers obey the order, and the ministers will live up to the saints!"
No matter what the emperor felt in his heart at the moment, but he made himself go out on the expedition with Huang Yue, and used the whole country's soldiers to control himself, and fully supported himself to fight the Qing army again, this attitude alone made Dingguo's heart excited and bowed his head.
"After the King of Jin set out on the expedition, the court must work together, the soldiers in front of me are needed, I believe that the King of Jin will live up to me, and it is expected that tens of thousands of troops will be pressed on that day, and everyone in the court is afraid, that is, I was also afraid at that time, but what is the result? It is expected that the army of tens of thousands of people will be able to break the King of Jin with one force, and what can the Qing army do today no matter how many people there are, I believe that the King of Jin will be able to break the Qing army this time! ”
"The Emperor Shengming!"
Whether or not they believed that Li Dingguo could defeat the Qing army, after the emperor made such impassioned words, the ministers all bowed down and praised him.
Yongli nodded slightly, very satisfied with the reaction of the ministers, he no longer asked the ministers for their opinions, but said directly: "Guangdong Xingping has great merit, I have clear rewards and punishments, and I have a draft decree, appoint Xingping as the Duke of Guangdong, control the military and government of Guangdong, and enter Guangxi King Qin in front of his own soldiers after receiving the order." Serving the meritorious service, the prince, the prince of the county, I am glad to reward them, for the meritorious ministers, I have always been stingy with rewards! ”
Yue Guogong?!
The ministers were stunned, and no one spoke. The emperor has no jokes, no matter whether this prince is worthy of the great merit of Xingping in Guangdong, the emperor has decided, and the courtiers can only gladly accept it.
Xu Yingyuan over there was dumbfounded, before he came, he had a package ticket with Zhou Shixiang, and the prince title could not be brought back, but the title of the county king could definitely be brought back, but now Zhu Youlang was only given the title of Duke of a country, and he was still a Duke of Guangdong!
You must know that this Duke of Yue is the title of the dead Qu Shiyun when he was alive, although the title of the Yongli Imperial Court is too chaotic now, and it is not given according to the etiquette system at all, but you can't take a dead man who has only been dead for a few years to change the title to a living hero, if you want to take it, you have to take a person who has been dead for two hundred years, such as Ma Bao's Huaiguo Gong.
What the. What a thing!
Xu Juren is about to scold his mother, Zhu Youlang looks really talented, the dragon and phoenix among the people, looking at the absolute posture of the emperor who reigns over the world, how can he do things so absurdly. This is to bring Yue Guogong back, so that he can look good? If you knew that this was still a dead man's title, you wouldn't be so angry that you would be thunderous.
Xu Juren was angry and anxious, and he had to make a look of being happy for Zhou Shixiang to receive the title of Duke of the Kingdom, which was really awkward.
Yue Guogong?
Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, also felt that the emperor was a little stingy, but after thinking about it, if the emperor really named the prince of Zhou, wouldn't it be another Liu Wenxiu. Liu Wenxiu died of serious illness ten days ago, and now the Yongli regime is the only one who is the most respected king of Jin, but Dingguo is still obsessed with fame and fortune, and he is unwilling to speak out for Zhou Shixiang, for fear that another prince will fight for power with him.
Guo Zhiqi was in a hurry, ignoring the silence of the ministers, and said alone: "Your Majesty, Xingping is such a great achievement, it is inappropriate to only award the Duke of the Kingdom!" ”
"Guo Qing means that I will reward Xingping for his great achievements, but Xingping thinks that the title I gave is low, will he be dissatisfied with me, and is he unwilling to bring troops to King Qin? If so, what does this courtier want him to do! ”
Yongli's tone was extremely cold, and he was really annoyed, Guo Zhiqi was the minister he was holding the letter in one hand, but for some reason he spoke for that Zhou Shixiang everywhere. Could it really be as Ma Jixiang said, Guo Zhiqi accepted the benefits of Zhou Shixiang in Guangdong? Yongli became more and more suspicious in his heart, and looked at Guo Zhiqi's eyes becoming more and more cold.
"That's not what I mean!"
Guo Zhiqi sighed secretly, knowing that the emperor was suspicious of Xingping, and it would be useless for him to continue talking. Zhou Shixiang is really, how can he care about the relocation of the imperial court, if you want to take the imperial court to Guangdong, you will say that the king of Qin will protect you, and if you really get to that point, where else can the emperor go if he doesn't go to Guangdong? What are you going to say about tens of thousands of troops to protect you, and the emperor can feel good when he hears this?
"Your Majesty, the minister heard that Zhou Shixiang's parents, wife and children were all harmed by the Qing army, so the minister asked the emperor to give him a marriage, and marry Xingping with the lord of Changle County, showing the kindness of the emperor and the court."
Guo Zhiqi had no choice but to take out the alternative, he was really thinking about the imperial court, Zhou Shixiang made it clear to him in Guangzhou, and it was indeed difficult, it was difficult for a single prince to control those military leaders in Guangdong. The premise of the Taiping army's entry into Guangxi Qinwang was to defeat Jidu and integrate the forces of the Ming army in Guangdong, the former has been completed, and now the latter is left.
The county lord of Changle is the daughter of Emperor Shaowu, and there are many old departments of the Shaowu regime among those military leaders in Guangdong, if Zhou Shixiang marries the county lord of Changle, those old Shaowu departments will have no reason to resist Zhou Shixiang. With the strength of the Taiping Army and the support of the old Shaowu Department, if he moves from it again, the situation in Guangdong will be able to settle down, and then Zhou Shixiang will have any reason not to come to King Qin.
"Marriage? Will Changle Xu and Zhou Shixiang? ”
Yongli was stunned, Guo Zhiqi couldn't ask for the title of king for Zhou Shixiang, why did he come to ask the county lord to marry him again?
The county lord of Changle is 17 years old this year, and the theory is that he should choose a husband, if Changle marries Zhou Shixiang can make him and tens of thousands of soldiers loyal to serve the Ming Dynasty, Yongli will not object. He groaned slightly, but did not immediately make up his mind, but asked Li Dingguo beside him: "Does King Jin think it's okay?" ”
"I have no opinion."
The King of Jin felt a little guilty for not being able to speak up for Zhou Shixiang, so he wanted to broker the matter, and besides, he had no reason to oppose it. If the county lord marries and allows the Guangdong Taiping Army to enter the Qinwang of Guangxi, it will definitely be of great help to the war in Yunnan.
King Jin did not object, Yongle also thought of the benefits of Changle and Zhou Shixiang, so he simply said to Guo Zhiqi: "I have approved this matter, I will make the county lord a princess, and marry with a princess ceremony." ”
Guo Zhiqi breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor was not confused, and knew that the identity of the county lord would be raised higher, so that Zhou Shixiang married the princess as his wife, although he only awarded the prince of the country, he must not be too aggrieved. He was happy, but found that the envoy in Guangdong didn't seem to be very happy, and his expression looked a little confused.
Xu Yingyuan is really crying and laughing now, he brought back a dead man's national public name to Xiucai, and he wants to bring him back a Zhu family's mother-in-law as a wife, but I don't know how Xiucai wants him to look good. It's Xiucai who is polite, and he knows that he is not to blame for this, but can the two women in the marshal's mansion spare him?
After the civil and military officials retreated, Yongli did not go back, but sat alone in the hall, looking at the empty hall, he suddenly had a strange feeling, feeling as if he was swallowed by the hall. Although the King of Jin faked Huang Yue to go on the expedition, Yongli's heart was still unstable, he was very afraid that the King of Jin would be defeated, if the King of Jin was defeated, did he really want to learn from Emperor Xiaolie to die in this Kunming city?
Yongli shuddered, and once again felt that what he had done as an emperor was extremely difficult and dangerous. He hated Ding Kuichu and Qu Shiyun a little, if it weren't for these two people who pushed him to the throne, would he be so frightened now!
But he deliberately forgot how he looked forward to being the emperor back then. The emperor is the ninety-five, with supreme power and endless glory and wealth, and when he becomes the emperor, he can command the world!
At that time, Yongli naively thought that once he became the emperor, he would be the expectation of the people, and then the people of the world would unite under his command, expel the Manchurians from the Central Plains, and let him Zhu Youlang lead the Ming Dynasty to prosper and become the male lord of Han Guangwu. But now, the Zhu family's country is falling apart and devastated, and his Zhu Youlang's life seems to be unstable
Time has passed, and if there is another chance to choose, Yongli doesn't know if he will choose to be the emperor.
Yongli shook his head, no longer thinking about the impossible, he got up sadly and walked down the steps slowly, seeing Wang Kun still standing there silently, the ghost sent a god to ask him: "You say, when it is really a last resort, do I go to Guangdong or to western Yunnan?" ”
Wang Kun was stunned there, as if he remembered that the emperor had said in front of the Manchu Dynasty that it was really a last resort, but he had to learn from Emperor Xiaolie
Today, there are 9,000 words in the third update, you don't have to wait, rest early.
In addition, as a matter of gossip, Yongli's biggest regret before his death was that he failed to give Bai Wenxuan the title of Prince and Ma Bao's generals the title of county king, so that these powerful factions were not loyal.
For Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, according to the official history, although the image of loyalty and courage is undeniable, there are still many flaws. Bones did not want to slander this Han hero more, so he wrote very little. (To be continued.) )
