On March 29 of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the emperor Huang Taiji of the Manchu Qing Dynasty outside the Guanwai died of a violent illness in Shengjing, Huo Wu sent the news back to Shandong for the first time, Zhu Ping'an carefully calculated, and the time of Huang Taiji's death was more than a year earlier than the real history. In much the same way that the Manchu dynasty was in a vacuum of supreme power, the two most powerful candidates for the throne, Hauge and Dolgon, each led their own supporters, and fought each other in Shengjing.

In the period from the end of March to the end of April, Hauge and Dolgon had clashed no less than ten times, but neither of them was a short-sighted person, and they knew that if the real battle between swords and soldiers was started, it was likely to repeat the battle between Kublai Khan and Ali Buge in the Mengyuan and Yuan dynasties.

Coupled with the mediation of the Eight Banners nobles led by Dai Shan and Zierharang, although the throne is still undecided, the total | excellent | excellent | small | said more | new | most | fast | WWW.UUXS.CC | can be regarded as a temporary stop to the armed confrontation.

Da Ming was finally able to breathe for a while, but it was only for a moment. The biggest enemy in front of him has quietly changed from the Manchu Qing to Li Zicheng's Shun army. At the beginning of April, Xi'an fell, the Dashun army plundered in Xi'an for three days, and then Li Zichengzhi proudly ascended the throne and called the emperor, the country name "Dashun", the year name Yongchang, and the great seal of civil and military. With Niu Jinxing as a scholar of Tianyouge, the prime minister of the government; Gu Junen is a scholar of Chongwen Pavilion University and a scholar of the Ministry of Officials; Song Xiance was the military advisor for the protection of the country. Liu Zongmin is the head of the generals, still the general of power, the official title of the governor of the left capital, and the title of Marquis of Ru; Li Guo is the general, and the governor of the old camp has six troops. The rest of He Jin, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu, Li Yan, Dang Shousu, Yuan Zongdi, Gao Yigong, Hao Shaoqi, etc. were rewarded, and even Bai Wang, who fought in Huguang, won the official position of general, and the governor of Huguang had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

But for He Renlong's reward, Li Zicheng had a headache. Since He Renlong put into service, it can be said that its role is obvious. Without him, Sun Chuanting's army would not have been defeated so quickly. There will not be so many elites of the Shaanxi army who defect to Dashun. By now, He Renlong's command has gathered more than 50,000 people, and they are basically the elite of the original official and military sequence.

After the capture and clearance, He Renlong should be the first to take the lead, but he was not interested in the title of "Lu Guogong". He didn't even follow Li Zicheng into Shaanxi, but led his subordinates to take advantage of the situation to kill in Shanxi, what made Li Zicheng jealous the most was that He Renlong did not obey the military orders of the Dashun Army at all, Li Zicheng even felt that this person's plan was not small, and he was raising tigers for trouble, and he came up with a "Zhang Xianzhong" and sang against himself.

For this reason, after Li Zicheng took Shaanxi, he couldn't wait to order Liu Fangliang and Dang Shousu to enter Shanxi as soon as possible. Prevent He Renlong from wantonly occupying the chassis and expand its strength. Li Zicheng's pro-unification army followed, and finally caught up with He Renlong's footsteps.

In this way, Li Zicheng took He Renlong as the vanguard, led the army eastward, and Shanxi passed on the tower, and Tang Tong, Jiang Hao and other Ming generals looked forward to the wind and surrendered. Governor Liu Fangliang was ordered to go all the way from Pingyang through Yangcheng to Weihui, Zhangde and other places. Jingzhen went north to block the reinforcements that might come from the south of the Yangtze River.

"Hasn't Jingshili summoned all the governors to enter Beijing?" Zhu Ping'an flipped through the manuscripts in his hand. He didn't look up, but asked directly.

"Not yet!" Yin Shigang exchanged glances with Guo Chai and Shen Mingxian, and then returned: "The news that Ah Da came back, the capital division is very turbulent, since the defeat of Sun Dushi's army, there are merchants and people in the city who have retreated south. But civil and military officials have not moved. But many people have already begun to move their wealth to the south! ”

Zhao Guangchen added: "In the court meeting in March, Zuo Zhongyun Li Mingrui moved the court south, and the saint didn't say anything, but none of the other ministers responded, and none of the cabinet members spoke. Neither against nor in favor. The military department admonished Li Mingrui to kill Li Mingrui in the light of day, saying that he was ill-intentioned and shook the hearts of the army and the people, and many people seconded the proposal. ”

"Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Procuratorate, proposed another construction, which was supervised by the crown prince in Nanjing, and at the same time divided the Yongwang and Dingwang to the Taiping and Ningguo two mansions."

Before Zhao Guangchen finished speaking, Zhu Ping'an was already sighing faintly, "Needless to say, the courtiers must have resolutely disagreed!" ”

Zhao Guangchen nodded, "Dashuai Mingjian." Originally, some of the courtiers agreed with this Jianyì, but Guang Shiheng only said one word, and the ministers didn't dare to insist anymore! ”

"What do you mean?" Zhu Ping'an was curious.

"Do you want to emulate the old things of Tang Suzong's Lingwu?" Yin Shigang replied.

When everyone heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded. Guang Shiheng's words are indeed heart-wrenching. During the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong fled in a hurry. After the Ma Weiyi mutiny, some courtiers were afraid that after Tang Xuanzong arrived in Shuzhong, he would liquidate the matter of killing Yang Guozhong and his party and forcing Yang Guifei to death, so they insisted on refusing to enter Shu, but protected the prince Li Heng and fled to Lingwu.

Guang Shiheng's implication was that the ministers who insisted on this proposal conspired to support the crown prince and force Emperor Chongzhen to step down.

As soon as this crime is spoken, who else dares to insist on it.

Therefore, Chongzhen could only give up the last hope for the courtiers and show his attitude, "The monarch is dead, I will go!" ”

With these "loyal and unswerving" courtiers, Emperor Chongzhen could only guard the empty city of Jingshi and wait for death, and from that moment on, his fate was already doomed.

Counting up, Emperor Chongzhen's edict should also be issued immediately, and as soon as King Qin's edict arrives in Shandong, Emperor Chongzhen's final plan will be officially launched.

Zhu Ping'an's prediction was good, at this time, in the imperial city of Jingshi, Chongzhen had already sent someone to prepare the edict of King Qin's Jingshi, ready to send it to various places.

"Have the soldiers and horses from all over Jiangnan been gathered? Where is it now? While Wang Chengen and Huaide were sorting out the edict, Chongzhen asked.

"Back to the body, Ma Shiying, the governor of Luzhou and Fengyang, has gathered 20,000 horses, and is currently out of Nanjing, and is rushing to the south of Zhili ......!"

With a bang, Emperor Chongzhen kicked over the incense burner beside him, and the incense ashes were sprinkled on the ground, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt.

Chongzhen sighed and waved his arm tiredly, "Get up, I should have thought of it a long time ago." Courtiers regardless of north and south, are the same hill, a month ago, Ma Shiying has been out of Nanjing, still lingering, what kind of idea. He knows it in his heart, and so does my heart! ”

"Holy!" Wang Chengen wanted to speak and stopped.

Chongzhen shook his head and ordered everyone to withdraw. "Companion, you take these edicts to Fangzhenghua to use the seals, take all the seals and talismans together, summon the prince to come, and in the future, these will be kept by him. The crown prince is young, although he has been by my side for the past two years to deal with state affairs. But the experience is still too little! ”

"The saint is relieved, Nanjing has six complete departments, and Shi Kefa is a loyal and capable person, and he will definitely do his best to assist His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled bitterly and practiced, "Shi Kefa said that this person is loyal, and I can rest assured, but this is ......!" The prince has also gathered some people around him over the years, but he really has some talents. is only Yang Tinglin. I have suppressed it for so many years, just to leave a usable talent for the crown prince. When the prince arrived in Nanjing, he took Yang Tinglin as the squire of the military department, and the governor's military affairs will inevitably improve. ”

As soon as he said it, Chongzhen realized that there were too many things to arrange, and his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table. "There is also Fang Yuegong in Shandong, who is also a talent that can be used, after the prince arrives in Shandong, he and Yang Tinglin can be right-hand men!"

"Companion, what happened to the edict I ordered you to prepare?"

Wang Chengen didn't dare to slack off. Carefully presented an edict that had been prepared to Chongzhen. Chongzhen looked at it carefully and nodded, "Let's use the seal together!" When Zhu Ping'an entered Beijing, he announced to the world that Zhu Yujian was canonized as the king of Tang and Fuzhou. Zhu Ping'an belongs to the clan and is the son of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Wang Chengen's heart trembled and he nodded.

Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, tiredness hit again, and waved Wang Chengen to retire.

Wang Chengen withdrew from the hall and immediately rushed to the duty room of the celebrant supervisor, Huaide also ran over from the side, mixed several edicts that had been prepared into the edict in Wang Chengen's arms, and then turned around and returned to the palace to serve.

Wang Chengen gently rubbed the edicts with his fingers, and a big stone in his heart also fell to the ground.

When he arrived at the duty room of the celebrant supervisor, Wang Chengen was a little surprised. The huge duty room turned out to be empty, and when he arrived at the duty room of the palm print eunuch, Wang Chengen found out that the current Ming Dynasty Prime Minister Fang Zhenghua was pouring himself a drink in the duty room.

"Fang Gong, ...... are you?" Wang Chengen was a little stunned. Fang Zhenghua used to not drink a drop of alcohol and was very strict with himself, but why did he go against the norm today and actually drink wine during the time on duty.

"It's a virtuous brother!" Fang Zhenghua beckoned, beckoned Wang Chengen to sit down beside him, pushed the booklet on the bookcase, pushed it all to the ground, and found a wine glass to pour a full glass of wine for Wang Chengen.

"Today's cup is the right to be the parting wine of you and my brother!" Fang Zhenghua held his wine glass and touched Wang Chengen lightly.

"What did Fang Gong say?" Wang Chengen was surprised.

Fang Zhenghua smiled, "I'm afraid Brother Xian doesn't know yet, Brother Foolish, I'm going to leave Beijing tomorrow?" ”

Wang Chengen was startled, and the wine in the cup almost spilled. "Why did Fang Gong say this, now is the critical time, how can Fang Gong do without the Master of Ceremonies?"

"The emperor has issued an order to order the foolish brother to go to Baoding to take charge of military affairs!"

"Ahh Wang Chengen was taken aback.

"Don't be surprised, not only me, but also Du Xun, Li Fengxiang, Gao Shiming and others have to go to various places to take charge of the troops. Long Live Lord has been very disappointed in the military attaches of the governors in various places, so he ordered us to go to various places to take charge of the troops and resist the rogues! ”

Wang Chengen's heart was gloomy for a while, Fang Zhenghua is an honest man, he has no quarrel with the world on weekdays, all he thinks is to do his own errand safely, unexpectedly, under the crisis, even he is not immune.

"Wait a minute, Gong Fang, you are already old, and you are sick, how can you work hard in the army, I will go to the Holy Lord to ......!"

Fang Zhenghua grabbed his hand, but laughed, "I have already resigned once, but now I can't shirk it anymore, people live for a hundred years, after all, it's just a piece of loess, since you can't hide, then you will do your best and die as you deserve!" ”

Fang Zhenghua drank it all, threw the wine glass with his hand, uncovered the red silk on the table next to him, revealing more than a dozen wooden boxes of all sizes, "The seals are all here, I think it is the Holy God who ordered you to take over, so it is okay, so as not to suffer from the suffering!" ”

After speaking, Fang Zhenghua stood up and arched his hand at Wang Chengen, "Brother Xian, Brother Fool is leaving, goodbye indefinitely, take care!" ”

Wang Chengen returned the salute in a daze, and watched Fang Zhenghua slowly walk out of the duty room, and his figure slowly disappeared into the oncoming ten thousand rays of light. It was as if something was holding on to his chest, which made him extremely uncomfortable. (To be continued......) R1292
