Chapter 49
Zhou Hao finally got through to dawn, and it was really uncomfortable to stand guard for a night. In the second half of the night, Zhou Hao could rest, but Zhou Hao was worried about an unexpected situation, so he insisted on staying all night. Now Zhou Hao only felt sour, and really wanted to lie on the bed and fall asleep, at this time Zhu Yousong got up, came out of the house, and saw Zhou Hao and said, "Brother Zhou rested well last night." ”
Zhou Hao had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "It's okay." ”
Zhu Yousong was served by several maids, and after washing, he sent several plates of breakfast. Zhu Yousong beckoned Zhou Hao to come over and eat a little, Zhou Hao looked at it as some exquisite snacks, but due to the difference between the main ministers and ministers, if it was in normal times, there was no problem for the two to eat a bowl of half-cooked dog meat, but at this time, people were about to become emperors, once the Nanjing ministers saw it, so as not to fall into the handle, they had to say that they were not hungry at all.
Zhou Hao paced around in the courtyard, the first thing today is to get his box back, wholeheartedly assist King Fu to ascend the throne, and then use Zhu Yousong to fight for the Southern Ming Dynasty to establish the Shenji Battalion, so that his skills can play a role, once the Ming Dynasty creates a strong army with advanced firearms, it is not difficult to turn things around and save the Ming Dynasty.
Zhou Hao was immersed in thought, when he suddenly heard someone coming in through the door. Zhou Hao looked back and saw that it was Shi Kefa and several brocade-robed officials who entered the gate and went straight into Zhu Yousong's house.
Zhu Yousong had just finished eating, and when he saw Shi Kefa and some ministers coming in, he bowed down and said, "Lord Shi is early, everyone is early." ”
Shi Kefa also returned the salute to King Fu and said: "Today is the first day of the fifth month, please visit the Ming Tomb today, one to pay tribute to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, and the other to summon His Royal Highness the people of the world will regain control of the Ming artifact in Nanjing, in order to recover the Central Plains in the Northern Expedition in the coming day." ”
Zhu Yousong said: "I listen to Mr. Shi's arrangement. ”
Lu Jiude, Ma Shiying and others rested at the Hefeng Post on the other side of the moat, they were worried for a whole night, the Fu King Zhu Yousong must not make any mistakes, Lu Jiude pinned Zhu Yousong's safety almost entirely on Zhou Hao, and I don't know where Zhu Yousong is now, and they can only wait for news in Hefeng Post if they have not received the news that Nanjing ordered them to enter the city.
Ma Shiying released three carrier pigeons one after another, and ordered Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo to lead an army of 50,000 to Nanjing, as long as the 50,000 army entered Nanjing, he would have much more confidence.
Lu Jiude came out of the post house, looked at the river and was stunned, and suddenly, a boat floated from the river, and in a moment, it had reached the opposite bank.
As soon as the boat docked, Zhou Hao was the first to come out of the boat, and then several guards came out, Lu Jiude was overjoyed when he saw Zhou Hao returning unharmed, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Zhou, how is Your Highness?" ”
Zhou Hao said: "Safe and sound." ”
When Lu Jiude heard this, he was immediately much more relieved, and was about to ask something again, Zhou Hao said: "Lord Shi, please father-in-law, you and Governor Ma enter the city, and today I will accompany His Royal Highness to visit the tomb of filial piety." ”
Lu Jiude invited Zhou Hao into the museum, and asked about the situation of Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu, who entered the city yesterday, Zhou Hao answered one by one, and Lu Jiude was relieved when he heard that there was no sign of assassination or house arrest of the king of Fu, and at the same time comforted Zhou Hao for his hard work.
After Zhou Hao and Lu Jiude finished chatting, they hurriedly went back to look at their car, and the box was still there, Zhou Hao was immediately relieved, so he returned to Lu Jiude's room and said, "Father-in-law, there is something I want to talk about below." ”
Lu Jiude and Ma Shiying were both beside him, what was the matter, Zhou Hao said: "Let His Highness ascend the throne as soon as possible, the sooner the better, if you can't get the throne for a while, at least let the prison state Nanjing, and then Xu Tu be the emperor, so as not to have many dreams at night." ”
