Jiang Yueguang finally met Emperor Chongzhen.

Wu Fu discussed with Jiang Yueguang for a long time that day, and Jiang Yueguang did not hide it, and told the truth about the attitude of the important ministers in the south. These news were naturally sent to Dengzhou as soon as possible, because Zhu Cihong went ashore in Dengzhou and returned to Laizhou.

Since Zhu Cihong was unwilling to be a chaotic minister and thief like Cao Mang, of course he couldn't deliberately obstruct Jiang Yueguang from meeting Emperor Bixia. Otherwise, with the IQ of the southern ministers, maybe they will really do something like "Qingjun's side". However, after mastering the movements in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Cihong was relieved, obviously the south was still in a low IQ entanglement, and the Donglin Party was clamoring to send troops north to welcome back the holy car, but Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, who held the military power, was not a fool.

So Ma Shiying sent Song Yingxing to Laizhou with Jiang Yueguang to see what was happening to the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen had long wanted to see Jiang Yueguang, but he didn't agree immediately because of his son's emotions. In order to appease Jiang Yueguang, Chongzhen asked people to find singers in the palace and sang a Kunshan dialect. Jiang Yueguang was mixed with a group of relatives, and he also attended and listened to the music, and saw Chongzhen from afar.

This undoubtedly means that the emperor is now in good health and emotionally stable.

Jiang Yueguang returned to the official post and immediately ordered someone to send a message to Nanjing to report the news. It's just that he also mixed some private goods, and explained that Emperor Chongzhen's arrangement of Kunshan dialect was "the emperor may have the wish of Nanxing but cannot make the trip". This undoubtedly greatly stimulated the Donglin Party, which prided itself on being loyal ministers, to send a song one after another, expressing their willingness to disperse their wealth and welcome the emperor south.

"It's just a matter of showing loyalty, and at this time, don't forget to impeach Ma Shiying for supporting the army and refusing to serve the king." Zhu Cihong couldn't help laughing when he saw these recitals.

Sun Chuanting said: "Your Highness, Donglin is not to worry. Those who are worried, the generals under the command of Feng Du. He was quite touched and said: "Song Yingxing is the envoy of Feng, but even the guards are borrowed from Jiang Yueguang." This is Ma Shiying's intention to tell the court: it is already difficult for him to manage the next soldier. ”

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "I have ruled the military with literature for 200 years, but the current governor doesn't even dare to put on a seal, do you still want to use such code words?" ”

Sun Chuanting didn't seem to be joking, and said seriously: "Your Highness, if you are on the seal, I'm afraid someone will immediately rebel." ”

Zhu Cihong is a spirit. Zhengse said: "Suspicion has been a taboo for monarchs and ministers since ancient times. ”

Of course, Sun Chuanting knew how serious it was to say that people were plotting rebellion, but he couldn't stand idly by for public or private reasons. Sun Chuanting was about to say something, but Zhu Cihong said again: "I naturally believe in Sun Du!" There were people who rebelled when the country was peaceful, not to mention the troubled times now. Some individuals have thousands of soldiers in their hands and think that they can't do it, and it is not uncommon for them not to take the governors seriously. ”

Sun Chuanting breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he would be wrong, and he also felt a warm current in his heart.

Liu Zeqing was scattered by Luo Yukun; Gao Jie fled all the way, and his foundation was not stable. These two detachments. I definitely don't dare to mess around. As for Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo, does Sun Du know? ”

"Huang Degong, this person is brave and resourceful, and he is a tiger general rather than a good handsome." Sun Chuanting said: "If it is said that he will rebel and rebel, the minister thinks that it may not be." However, if someone deceives him with righteousness, he is very easily deceived. ”

Zhu Cihong smiled: "It seems that he is a reckless person." ”

Sun Chuanting also smiled: "Exactly." After a pause, Sun Chuanting said again: "I don't know much about Liu Liangzuo, but he is a heavy general under Feng Du, with 100,000 troops. If Ma Shiying is afraid, it should be on this person. ”

Zhu Cihong asked, "Where are you stationed now?" ”

"Shou County."

Zhu Cihong got up and said, "The whip is beyond the reach of the whip." ”

"I don't have the skills to do it." Sun Chuanting said: "Now the Qing soldiers occupy Beijing. Li Zicheng fled west. Our army still has to consolidate Shandong, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to support the affairs in the south. ”

Zhu Cihong asked again: "If someone really has a great rebellious heart, what will they do?" ”

Sun Chuanting groaned slightly: "Support the new master." ”

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was not easy to establish himself as a king. Only poor and white thieves like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong will have to do it as a last resort. Even so, Li Zichengfei also hoped to have a canonization of the imperial court. A smooth transition will gain him righteous support and reduce the resistance of the scholars.

Those generals who hold military power, even if they really want to rebel, must weigh their own weight. I think about what will happen if the army is defeated. From these two aspects, instead of pulling the flag and rebelling by yourself, it is better to support a puppet, which is simple and safe, with a lot of room for maneuver, and you can also throw it out as a substitute for the dead at a critical moment.

Zhu Cihong thought of Nanming's messy things, and sighed in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that Nanming consumed Liliang in the infighting, how could the Manchus occupy this great country? I didn't expect Emperor Chongzhen to be still in power, and the dark tide was so turbulent.

The two were falling into silence, and Wu Fu walked quickly and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Bixia has come out." ”

Only then did Zhu Cihong check the crown prince's regular clothes on his body, move his facial muscles, and greet him.

Chongzhen came out of the inner palace with King Ding and King Yong, saw Zhu Cihong, didn't say a word, and walked straight forward. Zhu Cihong knew that this imperial father had a grudge against him, so he had to follow behind him, ranking above the two kings. Chongzhen seemed to be able to feel a pressure coming from behind him, but he regretted it in his heart: was it because he brought his sons to attend the court meeting that the eldest son was so precocious.

In the lobby of Laizhou Mansion, the original officials were replaced by ministers who fled here with the holy car, and they were divided into two shifts. With Wang Chengen's shout, all the ministers fell to the ground and greeted the emperor's holy drive. Chongzhen sat on the throne in the middle, looked around, and saw Jiang Yueguang.

Zhu Cihong also looked at the old man, but more of his spirit was on how to develop and use these ministers. These people who have read books have a higher comprehension than the illiterate, not to mention that they are all two-list jinshi and have been in the officialdom for so many years. Sometimes he really hopes that he has enough evidence in his hand to send them one by one to teach in village and li primary schools.

But even if he did, the emperor wouldn't agree. In the eyes of the emperor, these courtiers are his team, and they are all loyal talents, how can they be easily released?

"Please also ask Bixia to return to the throne as soon as possible to settle people's hearts." Jiang Yue Guang said forward.

Emperor Chongzhen's face was radiant, and he immediately asked, "The ministers of the Southern Capital are already preparing to welcome them?" By land or by water? ”

Zhu Cihong sneered in his heart: With those empty talkers in Nanjing, do you still expect them to organize a large army to welcome the king? It would be nice not to surrender in a hurry.

Sure enough, Jiang Yueguang's face froze, and he said: "If it is Bixia Nanxing, as long as there is an edict, the ministers of Nanjing will naturally focus on welcoming it." ”

Chongzhen's face darkened, and he said, "In this way, there are no soldiers and horses to meet you. ”

Jiang Yueguang hurriedly said: "Bixia, Zuozhen has 200,000 soldiers, and Fengdu has 200,000 soldiers under his command!" If it is Bixia Nanxing, how can there be no soldiers and horses? ”

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cihong. Although he didn't want to believe that his son was blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he had to believe in one fact: if the crown prince didn't nod, the holy car would never be able to leave Laizhou Mansion.

"Father Bixia issued an edict to the king of soldiers and horses in the world as early as February," Zhu Cihong coughed dryly, "Leaving Beijing in March, it is even more important to edict the ministers of the southern capital to welcome the king of Qin and guard the key passes." Now that he hasn't even seen a single soldier of the Southern Army, how can he announce Nanxing? Taking the waterway is a last resort, how can it be dangerous again and again? If you take the land route, there are no soldiers to escort you, there is no palace to garrison, there is no grain and grass to respond, and there are many bandits along the way, how can you go? ”

Jiang Yueguang was stunned by the crown prince's question, and said: "The minister went north along the way, and the road was quite quiet. ”

Zhu Cihong laughed.

At this moment, there was no need for the crown prince to say anything, and all the ministers standing in the hall made a difficulty, which suddenly made Jiang Yueguang red-faced and red-eared. If he hadn't been physically and mentally healthy, I'm afraid he would have died of sudden heart death.

"It's too profligate." Zhu Cihong said in a low voice, but deliberately let the emperor hear clearly.

Chongzhen was immediately extremely disappointed in Jiang Yueguang, and only felt that it would be a waste of time to sit down again.

"Father," Zhu Cihong suddenly said to the emperor who was about to leave, "What Jiang Yueguang said also makes sense. If my father does not ask about politics in Nanjing, the hearts of the people in the world will be restless for a day. ”

The hall fell silent.

However, the road was impassable, and there were not enough guards, so my father Bixia could not hurry up and drive. Erchen thought that a reliable eunuch could be sent to serve as a garrison eunuch in Nanjing to coordinate the matter of welcoming the driver. Zhu Cihong said.

Jiang Yueguang didn't expect the crown prince to say something for himself, so he thought about it, but he suspected that this was the prince's desire to install cronies in Nanjing. (To be continued......)
