The winter in the capital is unusually cold, he is a southerner, he is used to being wet and cold, very unaccustomed to the dry and cold air in the north, and his nose is a little itchy. Wang Fuzhi rubbed his hands and came in, and said: "Renyuan, I didn't expect this northern winter to be so cold, my hands are frozen." Zhou Renyuan smiled, pointed to the teapot on the table and said, "The water in this teapot is still hot, you pour a cup of hot water and cover your hands." Seeing this, Wang Fuzhi directly covered his hands on the teapot, squinted his eyes and said, "It's so comfortable!" He covered it for a moment and saw that Zhou Renyuan had been looking out the window and laughed, "Why are you in a hurry just three days later?" Zhou Renyuan's gaze was retracted, and he generously admitted: "Can I not be in a hurry, my recital has been handed over to the emperor for three days, why hasn't there been any movement at all?" Wang Fuzhi smiled: "You have such a big hand, the emperor is not very good to decide, give him some time, I think the emperor hasn't thought clearly for a while, just think clearly, don't you have to discuss it with the ministers, don't worry." Zhou Renyuan spread his hands and said helplessly: "That's the only way."

A voice suddenly came from outside the door of the post house: "The holy decree arrives, and Zhu Youlang receives the decree!" Zhou Renyuan and Wang Fuzhi looked at each other happily, could it be that the emperor had already seen the concert and wanted to summon Zhou Renyuan? Zhou Renyuan tidied up his clothes, hurriedly ran to the door, and when he saw that it was an acquaintance who was delivering the decree, he knelt on the ground and shouted: "Minister, Zhu Youlang takes the order!" Gao Qiqian glanced at him with a smile, unfolded the holy decree and read: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict, Zhu Changying, the king of Gui, is loyal to the country, selfless, serves the public and is anxious for the imperial court, and specially canonizes the prince Zhu Youlang as the county king, and the fourth son of King Anren, Zhu Youlang as the county king, and the king Yongming proclaim the world!" Zhou Renyuan shouted again: "Thank you, Emperor Longen!" took over the holy decree handed over by Gao Qiqian. "Get up, lord, you are now a titled prince, the old slave can no longer call you little prince in the future, hehe!" Gao subtly helped Zhou Renyuan up. Zhou Renyuan arched his hand, took out a piece of silver from his arms, stuffed it into Gao Qiqian's hand, and said with a smile: "Gonggong Gao, the king of the Ming Dynasty, is full of this king, and after the capital, you will not be able to take care of Gonggong Gao, isn't it?" When Gao Qiqian heard this, he was full of usefulness, and whispered in Zhou Renyuan's ear: "Lord, think about it, your title is the King of Yongming, which prince and county king have the name of our Ming Dynasty in the title, I heard that the emperor really put a lot of thought into choosing your title." Zhou Renyuan felt justified when he heard it, "Old slave will tell you something again," Gao Qiqian came up again and said softly: "Yesterday, the emperor decreed the dismissal of Shoufu Wen Tiren, and Lord Wen only had three words on his will: 'Let Er go', I heard that when the will arrived at the Wen Mansion, Lord Wen was eating, and after Lord Wen heard the will, his chopsticks fell to the ground, so Lord Wen's expression, hehe-" Gao Qiqian covered his mouth and snickered. Zhou Renyuan sent Gao Qiqian away, took the holy decree and lowered his head to think about what was going on? Chongzhen gave a title and it's over?" Bang", the door of his head hit the pillar in front of the door, "Hahaha-" Wang Fuzhi laughed when he saw his embarrassment, "Why can't you find the road that the king of the county is happy of?" Zhou Renyuan entered the house and threw the holy decree to the side: "Isn't it just a title, it's not a big deal." As he spoke, he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot water and drank it. Wang Fuzhi didn't make fun of him at this time, and said: "Renyuan, I still say that if you care, you have to be patient!"

At this time, Qianqing Gong Chongzhen stared blankly at the piece that Zhou Renyuan gave him on the table, he had been watching it repeatedly for two days in a row, since he read this piece for the first time, his heart was like a fire burning, and then it was like a piece of ice, and he trembled. I saw that this piece was written in small block letters: "Zhu Youlang, the fourth son of Zhu Changying, the king of Gui, weeps bloodily, and plays my great tomorrow, Your Majesty: At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Taizu was born in a cloth cloth to save the people of the world, and in order to restore the Han dynasty, he was not afraid of life and death, and he did not avoid hardships and dangers, led everyone to rebel against the tyrannical Yuan for decades, expelled the remnants of the Yuan, created my Ming foundation, and stabilized the people in all directions. Emperor Chengzu personally conquered Mobei to attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty and expanded the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Zheng He made seven pilgrimages to all countries in the West, and what a glory it was for my Ming Dynasty. Renzong Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, and the virtuous ministers assisted the people to recuperate, so as to have the "rule of Renxuan". Then I experienced the "change of the civil fort" in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty fell from prosperity to decline! Later, although there was a Wanli Zhongxing, the court was chaotic, Xiao Xiao was in charge, the emperor neglected the government, and ignored the common people in the world, which made the rise of the Jurchens outside the Guanxi become the biggest hidden danger of my Ming Dynasty. And because of the eunuch party's evil control of the government, the subordinates of the world have lost their morale, the generals are greedy for life and afraid of death, and the people no longer have the word Daming in their hearts - fortunately, the heavens are pitiful, and the emperor succeeds to the throne, bringing a glimmer of hope to the Ming Dynasty, but the hearts of the people in the world have long been separated, natural disasters have been caused by disasters year after year, and my Ming Dynasty has fallen into a tragic situation that is embattled. The ministers and younger brothers thought about it, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep all night - looking at my emperor's relatives, virtuous ministers, and far villains, in order to revitalize my Ming Dynasty and return my Ming people, a Kangtai society. The ministers and brothers have three strategies, one is to move the capital, the second is to discuss and the third is to open the sea and forbid the water division to go north. The relocation of the capital was to ask the emperor to return the capital, and the southern capital (Nanjing) was formed with the line of Beijing, Shanhaiguan, Datong and Baoding to form the second line of defense against the Manchus. Chongzhen thought about these words, tormented in ice and fire, at this time, Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, came to knock on him, pointed to Zhou Renyuan's recital, and asked: "What Yang Shangshu showed you the day before yesterday, what did you think after you went back?" Is the three strategies in my cousin's recital feasible?" Yang Sichang rubbed his cheeks with a tired face and replied with a bitter smile: "Your Majesty, this prince's suggestion is really - how to say it, it is to be earth-shattering, he is not afraid of being infamous as a 'thief' like me?" I'm afraid that as soon as this article comes out, everyone in the world will say that the prince is the scum of the Zhu family, and the emperor, the vassal king, is a big crime!" Chongzhen nodded, remembering that a few days ago, Yang Sichang proposed a proposal for peace, and was scolded by the ministers of the court that he was a thief, and this proposal was put down, Chongzhen was a little unwilling, and finally found a vassal king who had something in common with the most trusted minister, and didn't want to give up so easily, "Yang Shangshuzhen means that you don't agree with his point of view?" Yang Sichang is an old slippery head in officialdom: "This-this is really not easy to say, why don't you invite King Yongming to come, and invite Huang Yushi when you talk about it?" Chongzhen knew that the most fierce opponent at that time was Zuo Yushi, Huang Dao Zhou, Huang Dao Zhou, Geng was upright, and he was known for his prestige in the court, as long as he was convinced, things would be easy to do, so Chongzhen nodded and agreed.

When Zhou Renyuan was urgently summoned into the palace, it was already evening, he stepped into the Qianqing Palace again, and found that there were two more ministers around Chongzhen, a minister in his thirties looked at him with a smile, and the other minister in his fifties had a serious face, but there was dissatisfaction in his eyes. "The courtiers knock on the emperor." Zhou Renyuan was about to kneel again, Chongzhen hurriedly stopped him and said: "It's all your own brothers, don't kneel again when we meet in the future." Zhou Renyuan was very happy in his heart, that is, it was really troublesome to come to see you, the emperor, to kneel for three days. "These two, one is Lord Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the other is Lord Zhou Huang of the Imperial History of Zuo Du." Chongzhen introduced. The two of them bent down to Zhou Renyuan and asked, "Xiaguan Yang Sichang (Huang Dao Zhou) has seen King Yongming!" Zhou Renyuan hurriedly arched his hand, "Don't dare, don't dare, two adults don't have to be polite!" Let's all sit down and talk!" Chongzhen commanded, his eyes glanced at Wang Chengen on the side, Wang Chengen immediately understood, led a group of little eunuchs to all withdraw from the Qianqing Palace, and thought to himself: "How can this Yongming King be like a brocade guard, every time he comes, he is mysterious and secretive." Everyone in the house has been seated, Chongzhen was about to speak, but Huang Daozhou fired first: "Lord Wang, you said that you want the emperor to go to school, and Zhao Gou of the Southern Song Dynasty is in a corner of peace?" Was this Ming Dynasty attacked by the Manchus?" Zhou Renyuan thought in his heart, yo, it's a big hat, you are alluding to me, I am Qin Hui, and he was not angry, and replied slowly: "Lord Huang, right, Xiao Wang, I ask you a question, how many soldiers does my Ming have in Liaodong?" How many troops did the Manchus have?" I have 20,000 soldiers in Jinzhou, 10,000 soldiers in Ningyuan, 50,000 soldiers in Shanhaiguan, and about 100,000 troops in the Manchu Qing Dynasty!" Huang Daozhou replied casually. "Then can my Ming army attack the Manchu Qing with 80,000 soldiers?" That's impossible, we can only defend!" Huang Daozhou shook his head and said. "Okay, then you said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had dispatched every time they attacked Jinzhou Shanhaiguan?" Zhou Ren saw that Huang Daozhou was already walking according to his own train of thought, so he continued to guide. "That has never been Manchu Qing Tartar insidious, if the army of Shanhaiguan is mobilized, the Tartars will come to Shanhaiguan for a long distance and attack Shanhaiguan, Shanhaiguan will definitely not be guaranteed, and the Beijing division will be in danger by then." Zodiac week is not ambiguous about this. "So every time Jinzhou is besieged, the imperial court mobilizes troops near the capital and Shandong to support this king, right?" Zhou Renyuan asked. Huang Daozhou nodded again: "But Lord Huang, if the Qing army bypasses the Guanning defense line and goes straight to Datong, can this capital still be saved?" Zhou Renyuan asked suddenly. "This-this-" Huang Daozhou saw sweat on his forehead, "The lower official doesn't quite understand-" Chongzhen didn't quite understand either, glanced at Yang Sichang, Yang Sichang understood the soldiers after all, and when he heard it, he broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Quick-quick-map." Chongzhen knew that the matter was big, and hurriedly rummaged through the map of the Ming Dynasty by himself, and finally found the map, Yang Sichang took it over, unfolded it, looked at it, his face suddenly changed, and said excitedly: "My lord, you are really Wuhou Regeneration, this is a poisonous plan, if it is really as you said, the Manchu Qing Dynasty thought of this method, and the army would have come to the city a long time ago." "Ah, what's going on, Yang Shangshu, you can talk about it carefully." Chongzhen doesn't understand military affairs and is full of question marks. "Your Majesty, look," Yang Sichang pointed to the map, and Huang Daozhou also put his head up, "Our troops are all in Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan are the first line, and the Qing soldiers have not conquered it, look at it here, if the Qing soldiers do not fight Jinzhou and Ningyuan, they will bypass them directly, but make a detour to attack Datong directly from the Khalkha Mongolian steppe, Datong has only 5,000 soldiers, do you say that the Qing soldiers will fight Datong, if they point directly to the capital, what will be the consequences?" This-" Chongzhen sat on a chair with a chill down his spine, which was the biggest loophole in the entire Liaodong front. "Then you can't move the capital." Huang Daozhou is very tough: "Since Emperor Chengzu moved the capital, the Ming Dynasty is proud of the Son of Heaven guarding the country, once the capital is moved, how do the people of the world look at the imperial court, the morale of the soldiers in the world will be low, and the hearts of the people in the world will probably be lost." Datong only needs to send a good general to lead the troops to be stationed and the soldiers of Datong can be in one place. Chongzhen nodded: "Lord Huang is right, you can't lose the hearts of the people of the world because of the relocation of the capital, and chill the hearts of the soldiers!" Zhou Renyuan's face changed, thinking to himself, bullshit, the Son of Heaven guarding the country, Zhu Di at that time, there were more than 100,000 cavalry in the Ming Dynasty, there was no opponent in the world, so it can be said that the Son of Heaven guarded the country, that is because no one dares to violate you, what age is it now, and the Son of Heaven is still guarding the country? Pedantic! Chongzhen, I'm afraid that you will be forced to death by Li Zicheng, you really want to save you, but you don't appreciate it. Chongzhen saw that Zhou Renyuan's face was not good, and said softly: "Fourth brother, I can call you like this." Zhou Renyuan was stunned for a moment, Chongzhen also learned to beat a stick and gave a set of carrots, and almost came, and hurriedly nodded: "It can be the honor of the younger brother." Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction and continued: "The matter of the fourth brother moving the capital is over, but the unique opinion you put forward is recognized by the two adults, it seems that your military talent is not bad, it is the luck of my Zhu family." Zhou Renyuan didn't insist either, knowing that under the slogan of the people's righteousness, he couldn't insist anymore, thinking that as long as Li Zicheng was stopped, Chongzhen might survive, so he said: "It's all up to the emperor's ruling."

"Okay, let's talk about the second peace." Chongzhen was very satisfied with Zhou Renyuan's attitude and continued. Zodiac Zhou began to fire the second shot, and although the first shot was fired, it didn't seem to be very powerful. "Didn't the emperor discuss with the ministers two days ago, and you must not negotiate peace!" He glanced at Yang Sichang. Yang Sichang's face turned dark, why did he aim the muzzle of the cannon at me again? Your cannon should be pointed at King Yongming. Zhou Renyuan smiled: "Lord Huang, this king knows that Lord Yang proposed a few days ago and was vetoed by you, but this king's proposal is a little different. "Different? This subordinate wants to hear what the prince said. Huang Daozhou wondered. The king's peace is discussed while fighting, and then discussed. "Zhou Renyuan is playing tricks." What does that mean? What does it mean to discuss while fighting?" Chongzhen and the three of them didn't understand the black line. "The emperor, the two adults, the Manchu Qing and I, the Ming Dynasty, must be on the battlefield to see the true chapter, now he can't eat me, my Ming is also powerless to attack the Manchus, now this situation is a tug of war between the two sides, no one is sure that one blow will be killed, and my Ming internal thieves are powerful, and we need to spend a lot of effort to exterminate us, we must negotiate peace, so that my Ming can take a breath in the north. Zhou Renyuan felt that his throat was dry, and he wanted to find saliva to drink, Chongzhen hurriedly handed him the teacup in front of him, Zhou Renyuan took a sip and continued: "Once we propose peace, Huang Taiji will definitely ask for a sky-high price, and our court ministers will definitely not agree, so Huang Taiji will definitely start a war to force us, as long as we resist this war, as long as we don't lose, even if it is a draw, Huang Taiji will definitely soften and continue to negotiate peace, as for what the result of this peace is, I can't judge, because what we need is time!" After speaking, he looked at Chongzhen and the three of them, Huang Daozhou's head was still quite flexible, touched his long beard and said, "Is the prince's intention to discuss peace true or false?" Zhou Renyuan shrugged: "I hope that the peace negotiation can come true, but it depends on how far the situation develops, we have to feel the stones to cross the river, and take one step at a time." Huang Daozhou suddenly bowed down and said solemnly: "Now that the prince has given the lower officials to be taught, the prince has great wisdom, I can't wait." Yang Sichang also came over and asked, "Lord Wang, your knowledge is really embarrassing to me, seeing that you are not very old, how can you have such knowledge?" Me, I love martial arts since I was a child, I don't like literature, I like to travel all over the world, isn't there a saying that it is better to read thousands of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles, my knowledge is obtained by traveling thousands of miles, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the Emperor Taiji and the horsemen don't all love to read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it just so happens that I also love to read haha. Zhou Renyuan hesitated for a moment and replied. Chongzhen saw that they were all off topic, and hurriedly reminded: "There is also a third open sea forbidden division going north!" Oh, I forgot about the ministers. Yang Sichang and Huang Daozhou hurriedly apologized: "This is a ban on opening the sea, in fact, Fujian has been doing it for a long time, isn't Zheng Zhilong, the chief soldier of Fujian, already doing trade with the West?" But all the money he earned flowed into his pocket, and the court didn't catch a penny. Zhou Renyuan was a little angry. Yes? Is there such a thing? Zheng Zhilong is really bold. Chongzhen was also angry. The emperor's ban on opening the sea is against the national policy!" Huang Daozhou reminded Chongzhen. "The emperor's ban is to prevent the Japanese from being invaded, but now that there is no trade between the Japanese and the West, it is millions of taels of silver every year!" Zhou Renyuan stimulated Chongzhen. "Silver, yes, what the court lacks now is silver, but the sailor is all in the hands of Zheng Zhilong, and the court is helpless?" Chongzhen said a little embarrassed. "This king came to talk to him, the court wants to share dividends with him, and he also needs to send a warship to Liaodong to harass Juehua Island and drag Huang Taiji's hind legs." Zhou Renyuan touched his hungry stomach and said. "But Zheng Zhilong's sailor is far away in Fujian, will he come to the capital?" Yang Sichang looked at Chongzhen a little worriedly, Chongzhen was also a little worried, although Zheng Zhilong is now the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, but he is a pirate-born warlord, and no one knows how loyal he is to the Ming Dynasty, "Or I will decree that he will enter Beijing immediately?" Chongzhen asked next Zhou Renyuan. Zhou Renyuan shook his head: "Forget it, let's go to Fujian." Chongzhen said with emotion: "It would be great if the descendants of my Zhu family could work hard for the country like the fourth brother!" The emperor Yongming Wang took the initiative to ask the old ministers to admire, but in what name should I go to Fujian, it is worth thinking twice? After all-" Huang Daozhou hinted that Zhou Renyuan, the king of Chongzhen Yongming, was a vassal king, not a minister of the imperial court, and the vassal king interfered in politics, but it was a taboo in the Ming Dynasty, and the political and military affairs were not important in this Qianqing palace, but this time he wanted the vassal king to show his face and go out on behalf of the imperial court, if the ministers knew about it, he would have to impeach Zhou Renyuan to death. Chongzhen also has a headache, Zhou Renyuan has a headache even more, what kind of rule-breaking god, why don't you turn me directly into Chongzhen!
