Chapter 788: The Story of King Xiao Ming

"How do you divide your worries?"

When Zhang An spoke, he had already stood up from his chair. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWang Shirong sat there without moving, but there was a little more heat in his eyes.

"The southern capital urgently needs the prison country to sit in the town, the Jiangnan gentry and the common people are all looking forward to the prison country in person, and the marshal is looking forward to the prison country to pay tribute to the filial piety tomb, how can the prison country not go? He really didn't go, for fear that it would be in line with Hong Lao'er's heart. If Zhu Youlang is really in the hands of Hong Laoer and Wu Sangui, then the so-called righteousness will be pinched by them. Our handsome man worked hard to build Nanjing City, could he still make a wedding dress for him Wu Sangui? .... Why did the marshal ask the prison to return to the capital immediately, except for the matter of calming people's hearts, he may not be without worries in this regard. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is that the prison country will immediately go to the southern capital to pay tribute to the filial piety tomb and ascend the throne as the emperor. As long as the prison state is called the emperor, all the problems will not be a problem... Since ancient times, I haven't heard that the emperor will give up the dragon chair, Jian Guo really became the emperor, and Zhu Youlang's best fate is to serve the emperor from afar, as in the Jingtai period. If he's unlucky, it's hard to say..."

Xu Yingyuan's words made Guo Shao stunned, but Zhang An and Wang Shirong listened carefully. Liang Shuanghu listened to a half-understanding, this person was anxious, and simply asked: "What do you want us to do, just say it." ”

Xu Yingyuan smiled: "What I mean is very simple, what Mr. Song doesn't dare to do, we have to do it for him... The pro-army is our people, and they directly tied up the prison and left. When I arrived in Nanjing, there was a big handsome town, and the prison country had to agree if he didn't agree. ”

"Directly tie up someone?" Guo Shao was shocked in his heart, this matter was even more terrifying than forging a holy decree.

Wang Shirong got up and seconded: "I think it's feasible." ”

Zhang An did not approve or oppose, he only said: "The pro-army commander Zhou Baoguo is a person from Suna and is very loyal to the marshal." ”

Some words do not need to be pointed out, and the listener will naturally know them. Zhou Baoguo is a Manchurian descendant, and like Suna and others, he has too much Manchurian blood on his hands, so they have no way to retreat at all, so they can only die with Zhou Shixiang. What is beneficial to Zhou Shixiang is naturally beneficial to them. Not to mention, as far as his identity as a Manchurian descendant, who among the officials in the imperial court really looks down on them and can trust them? Can the prison state or the emperor trust them? On the same day, Zhou Shixiang refused to use Wang Xing's tenth town to be a pro-army, and took Zhou Baoguo's brigade as a pro-army, probably to prevent any changes on the side of the prison country in the future, and made arrangements in advance.

The commander of the pro-army is loyal to the commander, in other words, he is not loyal to the prison country, and the prison country is in the hands of the pro-army.

Zhang An's attitude is obvious, which makes Xu Yingyuan more confident.

"Commander Zhou didn't say that our pro-army is also under the orders of the marshal, not under his bird prison country! It's doable! ”

Liang Shuanghu suddenly jumped up from the chair with a murderous face, and shouted: "But, damn it, according to what I said, if you want to do it, you can do it neatly, this prison country is also troublesome, so I simply find a reason to kill him halfway, and when I arrived in Nanjing, the big guys jointly persuaded him to enter, and the big handsome man was directly the son of heaven!" With tens of thousands of soldiers of our Taiping Army to protect him, which of his descendants of the Zhu family dares to say no? ! ”

"How does this work!"

Guo Shao was taken aback, Xu Yingyuan said that he would tie up the prison country and go to the southern capital, for the sake of the overall situation, he could accept it and think about it. But Liang Shuanghu directly said that he wanted to kill the prison country, this was killing the king, and he never dared to think about it.

Wang Shirong also lost his voice and said: "Is this going to be Liao Yongzhong?" ”

"Liao Yongzhong? Which Liao Yongzhong! ”

Liang Shuanghu didn't know who Liao Yongzhong was, and Xu Yingyuan and Guo Shao didn't know. When Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, was in Chuzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Liao Yongzhong to meet him to the sky, and when he arrived in Guazhou, the boat capsized and died, but the death was very unknown. If the descendants of the Zhu family also suffer this move today, it will be karma.

Guo Shaozhi shook his head: "I'm afraid this thing can't be done, if we really do Liao Yongzhong, our end will be very unlucky." ”

"What's so bad about it?" Xu Yingyuan snorted: "Liao Yongzhong is just a marquis, but he is not a prince." ”

Guo Shao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, when the dynasty was crowned a meritorious hero, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang said to the generals: "When Liao Yongzhong fought in Poyang Lake, he was selfless and resisted the enemy, which can be described as a strange man. However, he sent a Confucian scholar who was good with him to spy on his intentions, so when he was knighted, he was only a marquis and not a duke. This is a general statement, but the people at that time, who in later generations did not know that Emperor Taizu blamed Liao Yongzhong for the affairs of King Xiaoming, so he was not crowned a prince.

"Even if the marquis is sealed, Liao Yongzhong also died later, this matter must be cautious, not hasty."

Guo Shao didn't want to be Liao Yongzhong's second, and wanted to dissuade everyone from looking for death. Liao Yongzhong's experience is bloody.

Xu Yingyuan snorted and said, "Liao Yongzhong usurped the dragon and phoenix and looked for death by himself, who is to blame?" Besides, the law does not blame the public, we are for the world of the Han family, for the sake of the country that the marshal has worked so hard for, and the marshal will not blame us. If you really let the prison country come here nonsense, something really big will happen, and the overall situation will be ruined, won't you and I die in the future? After speaking, he looked at Zhang An and asked him if he was involved in this matter.

Zhang An shook his head and said: "Dashuai is benevolent and righteous, if we harm the prison country, we will let Dashuai bear the name of killing the king, which is even worse than what Sun Kewang did back then." Besides, the current marshal has no heart to stand on his own, and you don't know about the persuasion of Wencun to command Jiang in the day. After a pause, Zhang An reminded Xu Yingyuan again: "After all, Jian Guo is the princess's uncle." ”

"So, Brother Zhang is against this?"

Xu Yingyuan was a little disappointed, if there was no participation of Zhang An's Military Intelligence Department, the success of this matter would be much lower. He is not afraid, what about the princess's uncle, can the handsome still blame them for a woman, these loyal subordinates?

Zhang An said: "No, I'm just against harming the prison country. ”

Xu Yingyuan nodded after hearing this and looked at Wang Shirong. Wang Shirong hesitated for a moment and nodded lightly. Liang Shuanghu naturally had no problem there, Guo Shao looked embarrassed here, but in the end he nodded and agreed.

After unifying his opinions, Xu Yingyuan was very determined, so he said to Zhang An: "That week, Commander Zhou will ask Brother Zhang to go on a trip, and with you going, Commander Zhou will definitely have no opinion." ”

"Without further ado, I'll go find Zhou Baoguo. When you arrive in Nandu, if the marshal asks for the guilt, I will bear it, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

Zhang An was also decisive, and immediately went to Zhou Baoguo with Liang Shuanghu to discuss the matter secretly. Xu Yingyuan and Wang Shirong also went to prepare. At this time, in the palace, the first assistant Guo Zhiqi, the university scholar Song Xianggong, Ding Zhixiang, Yuan Kuoyu and others were still persuading the prison country to set off north. Even the walls of the city are there, but they interject from time to time to oppose it. Hong Yuao didn't know what to do, whether to persuade the prison country to really return to the Son of Heaven, or to go to Nandu immediately to ascend the throne as emperor.

Song Xianggong and others persuaded hard, but the prison country insisted on not going, he said to the ministers: "When the country was alone, there was a saying, because the Son of Heaven toured the desert in the south, the sea was empty, the unification was lost, the country was in danger and the people were panicked, and the subjects and the people were persuaded again and again, and then to the third, and the lonely party allowed to follow the prison country. Now that Ziche has returned to the country, how can Lone still steal the position of the prison country and do the affairs of the Son of Heaven? You don't have to say any more, Gu has decided to send someone to Yunnan to present the message immediately. ”

"Your Highness is really confused!"

Yuan Kuoyu was anxious, "The return of the Son of Heaven is what Hong Chengchou's family letter said, and he is the Qing court's five provinces, how can this matter be believed!" Furthermore, where is the Son of Heaven now, is it in the hands of King Jin, or in the hands of Wu Sangui? If it is in the hands of Wu Sangui, the Son of Heaven will be captured, and there is a story of Yingzong, and His Royal Highness will follow the example. If he is still trapped in the border at the King of Jin and is not connected to the country, His Royal Highness should do the affairs of the Son of Heaven on his behalf, how can he abandon the title of prison country! ”

"The minister thinks that what Lord Yuan said is right, Hong Chengchou is a traitor, and what this person said cannot be taken seriously. The minister has been thinking about it repeatedly in the past two days, and he always feels that this matter is a trick of the Qing court, and the intention is to prevent His Highness from going to the southern capital! Ding Zhixiang also said. (To be continued.) )
