September 27.

The Jin Wangfu was overjoyed, and the courtiers of Nanjing came to congratulate.

The palace was deserted, and when the cabinet took most of the power except for the military, Emperor Longwu became a living dead. Zhu Yujian sat at the gate of the majestic palace, watching the half-green and half-yellow leaves rolling in front of him with the autumn wind, rustling.

He has a long beard and looks a little scruffy. In the past six months, he has been well-behaved, and the Ming Dynasty seems to have forgotten about him as an emperor.

"Your Majesty" A little eunuch walked over with his steps, very quickly, and his expression was a little flustered, as if he had just been frightened.

"How?"

"The guards are tightly guarded, and the slaves and maids can't get out of the palace"

Zhu Yujian's slightly squinted eyes opened, and he suddenly asked, "Zhang Jin, are you willing to give up your life for Daming."

The little eunuch replied: "Your Majesty but there is an order, the slave and the maid will never give up."

"Can you swim?" Zhu Yujian's question changed very suddenly.

Zhang Jin thought for a while and said, "Slaves and maids will, but the water nature is not very good."

"Oh" Zhu Yujian stretched out his hand and said, "Since you can't leave the palace, you can return the edict to me first."

Zhang Jin took out a cloth bag from his chest and handed it back to Zhu Yujian.

Zhu Yujian took the cloth bag and got up to return to the palace. He didn't go fast, because he was now the least short of time. Back in the imperial study, he opened the oilcloth bag, the secret mark left on the seal on it was complete, and the edict fell from the oilcloth bag, and there was not a word on it.

This Zhang Jin should be trustworthy.

Zhang Jin had followed him from Fujian for four years, and was one of the eight eunuchs who were able to remain in the palace after the assassination. He shouldn't have doubted him, but his circumstances today made it impossible for him to trust anyone.

The Ming Dynasty still has loyal ministers, Zheng Zhilong is in Fujian and Guangdong, Wu Sangui is in Sichuan, and Guangxi has Qu Shilu, he has to find a way to pass the edict out and lead the vassal to raise the army and the king. Even if those people were not loyal subjects, the situation would not be worse than it is now. Maybe he will die because of this, but as long as he can keep the Zhu family's country, it is worth it.

He had a way to get the edict out, but he had to wait until the right time was right, that is, when the Jiangnan soldiers and horses sent out for the Northern Expedition.

The reason why Emperor Longwu gave in to Zhai Zhe was not because he coveted the throne. When Ma Shiying came to persuade him, he already understood that the power of the imperial court was inevitable. When Assuke colludes with the general, how much room for maneuver does he have?

However, if he did not agree to Zhai Zhe's conditions, that person made it clear that after abolishing him, he would not support King Lu, but would support his one-year-old son to ascend to the throne. It would be better for him to continue to sit in this position. Han Xin can suffer the humiliation of his crotch, and he has not completely lost hope of turning the tables.

If Zhai Zhe leads the Northern Expedition to fail, or the Qing army invades Jiangnan again, the Zhu royal family may still be able to usher in a turnaround.

Zhang Jin and another eunuch stood guard outside the imperial study.

Half an hour later, several guards passed not far away, brooms in their hands to remove fallen leaves along the way.

Guards were often present in the palace.

A month ago, Zhang Jin remembered that a guard had a few small talks with him. After that, he never saw the guard again, and since then, not a single guard dared to speak to the eunuchs in the palace.

At this moment, the scene of the Jin Palace's palace is in stark contrast to that in the imperial palace.

From the afternoon, the Jin Palace's visitors are continuous.

Gao Huijun gave birth this morning and gave birth to a daughter.

In the bedroom of a delicate courtyard at the back of the east courtyard, the eyes of the infant are closed.

Zhai Zhe stretched out his fingers and stopped an inch away from the baby's face, worried that his rough fingers would cut through the delicate skin of the newborn baby's face.

Gao Huijun, who was lying on the bed, peeked at his face, until she saw that the corners of Zhai Zhe's mouth were getting bigger and bigger, and the smile on her face slowly bloomed. She remembered what her aunt had said before leaving, she must have a son, and only a son can stabilize her position in the palace. Fortunately, King Jin did not express his disappointment with this daughter, but liked it very much.

There was a conversation outside the door, Fan Yi's voice was steady, and Ulan's laughter was pleasant.

After coming to the Jin Palace, Gao Huijun likes Ulan. Ulan is frank and cheerful, unlike Fan Yi's dignified and calm appearance, which always puts pressure on her.

The two women walked in the door, the maid and servant woman waited outside the door, and Fan Yi congratulated Zhai Zhe as soon as he entered the door, and said, "Okay, Lord Wang, now you have both children and daughters."

"Okay, good" Zhai Zhe touched his chin, overflowing with excitement.

There was an endless stream of guests outside, and some of them were self-aware, and they only handed over the gift list to Ning Sheng, the housekeeper of the Jin Palace, and did not expect to see the King of Jin.

Although Gao Huijun was ordered to be rewarded, her real identity was just a concubine, and it was unimaginable that she could get such courtesy.

The glory of the Jin Palace's mansion is the embodiment of Zhai Zhe's layout.

The two scholars in the cabinet, Chen Zilong and Qian Sule, are his in-laws, so it is not surprising that they came to congratulate them.

Ma Shiying sat firmly in the position of cabinet assistant under the watchful eye of a group of Donglin parties, and his brother-in-law Yang Wencong and nephew Yang Dingqing were not implicated because of their close relationship with Emperor Longwu. Therefore, the family affairs of the King of Jin are all related to him.

Fan Yongdou, Liu Quan and other subordinates all sent congratulatory gifts.

Liu Suifeng has replaced Du Yinxi's position in the loyalty camp, and Gao Huijun married the king of Jin, and it was he who pulled the strings.

The liveliness of the Jin Palace's mansion will continue for many days, and the congratulatory gifts of the generals of Jingzhou have not yet arrived.

The king has no family affairs, and Zhai Zhe has not yet sat in that supreme position, but Gao Huijun's birth has also touched the hearts of many courtiers and generals.

Three days later, on the first day of October.

The Jin Palace's joy did not fade, and the envoy of the governor of Huguang blocked Yinxi into Nanjing.

After Zhai Zhe received the notice, he was a little strange, would Du Yinxi also send a congratulatory gift because he licked a daughter? In his impression, Du Yinxi is not such a person. He and Du Yinxi can only say that they appreciate each other in some aspects, and they are not friends.

Huguang's envoy did not come to the Jin Palace, but first went to the cabinet assistant Ma Shiying.

Zhai Zhe was secretly amused, and Du Yinxi was expressing his dissatisfaction to him in this way. The two things he did in Changsha this year were not in line with Yinxi's wishes.

In the afternoon, Ma Shiying brought the envoy from Changsha to meet the palace of the king of Jin.

As soon as Ma Shiying saw Zhai Zhe, he was full of joy and arched his hand: "Congratulations to the prince, the prince is happy to add a thousand gold, the Ming dynasty is prosperous, and double happiness is coming."

"What's the joy of?" Zhai Zhe knew that Ma Shiying would not make a fool of himself in front of him.

"The governor of Huguang blocked Yinxi and ordered a messenger to report, and the great western thief Sun Kewang, who was entrenched in Yunnan and Guizhou, sent a messenger to Nanjing to worship, but was stopped in Wugang and was waiting for the imperial order" Ma Shiying was in high spirits.

"So that's the case," Zhai Zhe was surprised.

If that's the case, it's better news than if he added a daughter.

After Zhang Xianzhong's death, the Great Western Army was driven out of Daoyungui by Wu Sangui and others, and Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo and others recuperated in Yunnan, quelled the rebellion in Shadingzhou, Yunnan, and captured Guizhou. Those were the only two pieces of land in Jiangnan that did not nominally belong to the Ming Dynasty.

Qu Shilu and Chen Bangbo blocked the way of the Great Western Army to the north in Guangxi, and Zhai Zhe was always worried that the Great Western Army would cause chaos in the southwest. Although the soldiers and horses of Guangxi were not deployed by him, once the Ming court was defeated in Guangxi, he would definitely be dragged into the southwest battlefield.

The war will kill a lot of people, and it will also consume a lot of money and food, and he will throw his limited money, food and troops into the battlefield of the duel with the Qing captives. He monopolized the military power as the king of Jin, manipulated the government, and did not lead to civil strife in the south of the Yangtze River, not only because he won consecutive battles, but also because the battle against the Qing Dynasty could gather the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

Ma Shiying knew that this news would definitely make Zhai Zhe happy, so he came to run in person and said, "The Huguang envoy is waiting outside the door."

"Pass him in" Zhai Zhe couldn't wait.

The envoy of the Huguang Governor's Mansion entered the door, first knelt down and saluted, and then presented the official letter written by Gu Yinxi to Zhai Zhe.

Zhai Zhe didn't ask any more questions, and after opening the official document and reading it silently, he continued to be silent, and frowned slightly.

Ma Shiying didn't know if the content expressed by Du Yinxi in the letter to the King of Jin was the same as in the official document to him, so he didn't dare to say more.

Zhai Zhe folded the official document and asked, "Let Sun Kewang's envoy come to Nanjing first, how about the Ma Pavilion Department?" ”

Ma Shiying said: "Okay"

Zhai Zhe waved his hand and ordered the messenger to retreat, and asked: "The Great Western Army is based on Sun Kewang, he has been running Yungui thriving in the past two years, and he still has some ability to use the opinion of the Ma Pavilion Department, why should he be sealed?" "This is the most critical place.

Ma Shiying groaned slightly, and said, "Please ask the prince to call the shots for this."

"Li Guo of the loyal battalion did not become king, but the Great Western Army was different from the loyal battalion of that day, although it was a good thing for the Great Western Army to come to the court, it was quite tricky to deal with" Zhai Zhe casually clipped the letter of blocking Yinxi into the book on the desk. He suddenly couldn't make up his mind.

The loyalty battalion was reorganized by Du Yinxi and put into the Ming Dynasty, but he really gained status in the Ming Dynasty because of his intervention. The loyal battalion is the remnant of Li Zicheng, and the Great Western Army is Zhang Xianzhong's subordinate, and the generals of the two divisions will inevitably compare with each other.

Ma Shiying said: "It's better to see the messenger and talk about it."

"That's what I thought too"

Zhai Zhe said frankly: "In the past two years, I have been restrained by the Qing Dynasty, and I don't know much about the Great Western Army. But I heard in the loyalty camp that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong looked like enemies after digging up the tomb of the Fengyang Emperor that year. ”

Ma Shiying knew less about this part, he thought about the benefits, and said: "If Sun Kewang can know the general situation and does not seek to be crowned king, the imperial court will give him the title of Admiral of Yungui and recognize his status in Yungui, and it will be easy to do."

"If so, of course it would be the best"

But Zhai Zhe had no hope for Ma Shiying's statement.

The Great Western Army is like an independent, if it is not canonized by the imperial court, why should it come to worship.

It is true that the king is only in his thoughts, but it should not be indiscriminately sealed. When the prince becomes worthless, the problem will be even greater. Zheng Zhilong and Wu Sangui were crowned kings because they still had some prestige and status among the Ming courtiers

Zhang Xianzhong's cruel reputation spread all over the world, and the Great Western Army was happy in Yunnan and Guizhou, but not only did it have no prestige in Jiangnan, but also had a very bad reputation.
