Zheng Chenggong's words really surprised his subordinates, and they didn't know why the feudal lord looked down on King Tang so much. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info know that the Tang King Zhu Yuyi is the younger brother of Emperor Longwu, and the friendship between Emperor Longwu and Zheng Chenggong is known all over the world. At that time, Emperor Longwu admired Zheng Chenggong's talent very much, and he sighed and said: "It's a pity that there is no female match, Qing should be loyal to my family, don't forget it!" In order to show his favor for Zheng Chenggong, Emperor Longwu gave Zheng Chenggong the most respected surname Zhu in the dynasty, and changed Zheng Chenggong's original name to Chenggong. Since then, Zheng Sen's name has become Zhu Chenggong, and the world also calls Zheng Chenggong "the national surname".

The Tang King was the younger brother of Emperor Longwu, and the friendship between the feudal lord and Emperor Longwu was extremely deep, Chen Yonghua, Liu Guoxuan, Huang Ting, and Feng Chengshi broke their heads and didn't understand why the feudal lord suddenly looked down on the Tang King. They remembered that when Yongli was proclaimed emperor in Zhaoqing, the feudal lord did not want to serve Yongli as the master, but wanted to establish Zhu Changqing, the king of Huai, to supervise the country, but the Tang king wrote to persuade him, and the feudal lord changed his mind and supported Yongli instead. It can be seen that in the eyes of the feudal lords, the Tang King, the younger brother of Emperor Longwu, is very important.

Yongli abandoned the country and fled, and the Taiping army supported the Tang Dynasty in Guangdong. Although Tang King Zhu Yuyi is only a brother of Longwu, not a nephew, no matter what, this imperial line has finally returned to the line of Tang Wang. Therefore, with the old feelings of Emperor Longwu back then, and the practical interests, Zheng Chenggong should respond to support Tang in both emotion and reason, public and private, but now he regards Tang King so lightly and thinks that he is not qualified to supervise the country, which really makes Chen Yonghua and others extremely confused, and they don't know what medicine is sold in the gourd of the feudal lord.

Huang Ting, the former military governor, couldn't figure it out, but he knew the relationship between his own vassal lord and Emperor Longwu, so he had to remind Zheng Chenggong euphemistically, he said: "The world can't be without an owner for a day, the Tang King is the younger brother of Shaozong, and the elder brother is the last brother. ”

"From Emperor Shaowu, Tang Wang Jianguo is also reasonable." Feng Chengshi also said.

In the afternoon, when the officials and generals of the domain were still arguing, Feng Chengshi asked his son Feng Xifan's opinion, and Feng Xifan's opinion was that he must support Tang, and he must be quick and not delayed. Otherwise, the Qing court will use Yongli to abandon the country to create public opinion, so that the morale of the military and civilian gentry who support the Ming Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty will be greatly lost, and they will completely despair of the Ming Dynasty; Second, I am afraid that the old things will repeat themselves at the beginning of the eternal calendar. At the beginning of Yongli, the old story said that at that time, there were Ming Dynasty clans in various places who claimed to be the superintendent of the country, and they did not accept Yongli, and they each had the support of generals, which led to the continuous consumption of anti-Qing forces due to internal strife.

Feng Chengshi attaches great importance to his son, and often does not give up his own will be humane to his son's future achievements, so he also turned to favor Gan Hui and their support for Tang, so he heard that the vassal lord seemed to be unwilling to supervise the Tang Dynasty, and he was naturally surprised in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to persuade.

Liu Guoxuan didn't squeak, he was just thinking about why the feudal lord opposed the Tang Wang's supervision, the meaning of the feudal lord's words just now seemed to mean something else, could it be that the feudal lord's side wanted to set up another clan to supervise the country, such as the example of Zhu Changqing, the king of Huai back then?

Chen Yonghua and Liu Guoxuan thought of going together, but he thought about Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, thinking that the lord of the domain wanted to support the king of Lu and the country. But if you think about it, you don't feel like it, if the feudal lord really wants to support King Lu and supervise the country, he will not be cold to King Lu for so many years, when Zhang Mingzhen was there, he should have united with the two Zhang to support Lu, why wait until today.

I really couldn't think of why the feudal lord's attitude towards the Tang King had changed drastically, so Chen Yonghua simply asked directly: "The feudal lord, the matter of supporting the establishment of the prison country is very important, if the feudal lord has other thoughts in his heart, please inform his subordinates!" ”

Feng Chengshi, Huang Ting and others all looked at Zheng Chenggong nervously. Zheng Chenggong nodded slightly, and said to them: "Yongli abandoned the country, and this vassal will no longer serve him as the master, such a son of heaven, don't do it." ”

Chen Yonghua and the others knew that the feudal lord still had something to say, and they all listened. As for the feudal lord's clear statement that the son of heaven does not want Yongli, there is no difference. If anyone in the world ignores the emperor of Yongli the most, except for the Qing army, the Ming Dynasty except for the Yanping Kingdom, I am afraid that there is no second person.

Zheng Chenggong's next words made his subordinates even more puzzled, because what he said was, "You have followed me for many years, and you naturally know the friendship between this domain and His Majesty Shaozong, so if you really choose to establish a prison country, this domain will naturally support Tang." ”

"Since the lord of the domain is determined to support the Tang Dynasty, why should he treat the Tang king? ....”

Chen Yonghua: They looked at each other.

Zheng Chenggong said: "You all say that brother is brother and brother, indeed, Tang Wang Jian Guo is in line with this reason, but this domain thinks that Tang Wang Jian Guo, what does this emperor have to do with His Majesty Shaozong?" Shaozong is a brother, Tang Wang is a younger brother, there is no reason in this world for a younger brother to continue his brother's heir, so this domain has no intention of supporting Zhu Yuyi to supervise the country, but this domain is in favor of supporting Tang. ”

Chen Yonghua listened to some understanding, but also some didn't understand, and couldn't help asking, "What is the idea of the domain master?" ”

Zheng Chenggong did not go around in circles with them, and told them bluntly, he said: "This domain supports Tang, but does not support him Zhu Yuyi, this domain intends to pass on the king of Yongxing to His Majesty Shaozong as the heir, and then lead the Jinxia army and people to support the Yongxing king and the country, so that His Majesty Shaozong has a successor, and the blood heirs are continuous." ”

"King Yongxing? How can this work? ”

Liu Guoxuan lost his voice, no matter how he guessed, he didn't expect that the feudal lord would think of replacing a descendant for Emperor Longwu, and he would also support this successor as the prisoner of the country!

"Domain lord, the origin of this King Yongxing is unknown, how can he succeed His Majesty Shaozong?" Huang Ting's head shook and he couldn't even say it.

Chen Yonghua also said that the true identity of King Yongxing is difficult to verify, whether he is the descendant of Tang Duan can not be examined, how can he succeed Emperor Longwu, and the military and people of Jinxia will serve him as the master.

Feng Chengshi met Zhu Linwei, who claimed to be the king of Yongxing, who was only 20 years old, and he said that he was the third son of Zhu Yujiao, the king of Tang Dynasty. King Tang is the half-brother of Emperor Longwu, when Emperor Longwu was still the king of Tang, he led troops to the north to King Qin, but was deposed by the angry Emperor Chongzhen and imprisoned in Fengyang Prison, and the King of Tang was inherited by Zhu Yujiao. Tang Shu Wang Yu Chongzhen died of illness in the sixteenth year, a few months later the Qing army went south, Nanyang fell, several palace officials to protect Zhu Linwei, who had just inherited the king of Yongxing, went south, and has been hiding in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River.

After Emperor Longwu ascended the throne in Fujian and became the emperor, those palace officials took Zhu Linwei to vote, but when they arrived in Fujian, the Qing army had already occupied Fujing, and Emperor Longwu was also martyred in Tingzhou. Two years later, the old official heard that there were still Ming army activities in Jinxia, so he took ten-year-old Zhu Linwei all the way to Xiamen to beg, and was taken into custody by Zheng Jun after declaring his identity. Because of Emperor Longwu, and Zheng Chenggong has always been very tolerant of the Ming Dynasty, he attaches great importance to this nephew of Emperor Longwu, and let him study with his son Zheng Jing and deliberately cultivate.

There are no less than 100 people from the Ming Dynasty clan who came to take refuge here in Jinxia, including Zhu Yihai, King of Lu, Zhu Changqing, King of Huai, Zhu Shugui, King of Ningjing, and others, so everyone under the Yanping Domain never thought that this Zhu Linwei would be supported by the idea of the domain, and the shock in their hearts can be imagined. However, Liu Guoxuan thought that the feudal lord had always been obsessed with continuing the heir for Emperor Longwu, and he had no chance before, but now he abandoned the country forever, if this Zhu Linwei really had to succeed to Emperor Longwu, with the prestige and influence of Emperor Longwu in the eyes of the gentry and the people, he would also be a suitable candidate for supervision.

"There is no doubt about the identity of King Yongxing, this domain has already been carefully investigated, and the officials and subordinates of the Tang Dynasty Mansion have also found a lot, all of which can be used to prove that King Yongxing is true." Zheng Chenggong knew that his subordinates would question and oppose his idea of supporting King Yongxing, but he said this in an unquestionable tone, obviously having made up his mind and could not be changed.

Listening to the tone of the feudal lord, Chen Yonghua knew that it was difficult to persuade, so he said: "If the feudal lord insists on supporting King Yongxing, his subordinates have nothing to say. However, this move will inevitably clash with the Taiping Army and the Loyal Battalion, which will be detrimental to the overall situation of resisting the Qing Dynasty. ”

Zheng Chenggong groaned slightly and said, "I want to support the king of Yongxing, so I don't need to tell Guangdong for the time being." ”

Chen Yonghua looked puzzled: "The envoy of Guangdong is waiting for a letter in the palace, if the vassal lord does not agree to support Tang, how can his subordinates reply?" ”

Zheng Chenggong didn't think about it: "I said that this domain will lead the army to the north in the near future, and this matter will be decided after taking the southern capital." I'll leave it to you. ”

Chen Yonghua had no choice but to respond.

Liu Yongxuan thought for a while but said: "Conquer the southern capital, the king of Yongxing will go to the filial piety tomb to worship, and the king of Tang will have the upper hand, and then I am afraid that the Taiping army and the loyal battalion will have to turn to support the king of Yongxing together, and it is impossible to say that His Majesty Shaozong not only has a successor, but also can restore the ancestors." ”

"That's what this domain means."

Zheng Chenggong exhaled a long breath, his eyes looked at the dark night sky again, and after looking at it for a moment, his eyes were already red.

Huang Ting and the others saw it, and they knew that the lord of the domain was thinking about Emperor Longwu again. After glancing at each other, they quietly retreated, and the feudal lord had to quickly inform Gan Hui and Zheng Tai about the king of Yongxing, otherwise they might have to quarrel until dawn.
