Chapter 302: Welcoming the Emperor
Empress Dowager Zhang said,
"Someone! Pull down the few people who are serving around Your Majesty and hit the board, and don't stop if you don't hit the forty boards! ”
"Yes!"
At that moment, someone pulled Liu Jing, Qiu Ju, Zhang Yong, and Gu Da down with a few, picked off their pants and pressed them on the bench to make a board, but fortunately, these executioners also knew that these fathers-in-law were all people valued by His Majesty's side, and they were clever when they hit the board.
Empress Dowager Zhang watched these people being beaten to the ground, screaming and begging for mercy, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and went back to the palace.
When King Ning received the news, on a street opposite the Ning Wangfu in Nanchang Mansion, a middle-aged couple restaurant, called Guangxianju has been opened, upstairs and downstairs two floors, it is full of friends, guests come to the clouds, it is the big housekeeper of the Ning Wangfu also went to join in the excitement, and ate a meal of the overlord without spending money.
The boss smiled and said,
"Good food, you can enjoy it next time!"
"Hmmm! Not bad......"
The chief steward picked his teeth and swaggered to lead people away, but the boss was smiling proudly, and turned his head to the proprietress who was settling accounts behind the counter and smiled,
"Lady, I still look like a husband, right?"
The proprietress made a calculation, looked up at her husband, and whispered,
"The beard is crooked!"
"Oh!"
When the boss heard this, he hurriedly covered his beard and went into the back of the cabinet.
"O daughter! Come and show the father! ”
Han Qi, who was sorting out the goods with Tao Li, Qing Yan and Jiang Yuer, poked her head out helplessly, Jiang Yuer smiled and came up to glue the beard again for the boss, and watched him go out with a smile again, Tao Li asked,
"Miss, how long are we going to stay here?"
Han Qi sighed helplessly,
"Let's see how long Your Majesty and Niangniang want to play!"
This King Ning invited Chu Dongcheng into the palace,
"Weishan, there is news from Jingshi, saying that the emperor is going south......"
Chu Dongcheng said with a smile,
"This is the ministers of the court covering up for the emperor, it's not good to tell people that the emperor ran out of Beijing without permission, so he had to put up a guard of honor and say that the emperor went south to patrol, but in fact, the Luan must be empty in the car, this is to pick up the emperor!"
King Ning nodded when he heard this,
"This king thinks so too!"
After thinking about it, he asked,
"Weishan, do you have any news over there?"
Chu Dongcheng said with a smile,
"I'm about to report to the prince!"
As he spoke, he took out the letter from his sleeve and said,
"I just received a letter from the head of the house yesterday!"
King Ning unfolded the letter and looked at it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed,
"It seems that the head of the Chu family has already agreed!"
Chu Dongcheng said with a smile,
"Exactly! The head of the family has authorized Chu to arbitrarily dispatch the property and manpower in the clan, and vigorously support the prince, but the prince has a request, and Chu will go all out! ”
King Ning couldn't help but be overjoyed, his rebellious career has always relied on his own brains and dreams, feeling the stones to cross the river, but he doesn't have much confidence in his heart, but with the help of the Chu family, the high-ranking valve of the family, this future is naturally much brighter, which indicates that he is one step closer to the position of the great treasure, so that he is really grateful to the Chu family and Chu Dongcheng!
Even if an alliance was reached, King Ning was less wary of Chu Dongcheng, and the two were locked in the study, and after a period of conspiracy, Wei Wu heard a lot of King Ning's hole cards, especially to find out a lot of people in Beijing who were related to him.
King Ning spit out bitterness to Chu Dongcheng, saying that it is a lot of money that is sold everywhere every year, and there is a lot of silver to worship, so even if King Ning has opened a mine in Jiujiang privately, he has gold and silver mountains in his hands, and he is also short of left and right, so it is not hard, now with the addition of the Chu family, the silver money has been helped, and there is the power of the Chu family for many years, which can also be used by King Ning, but it makes him feel like a tiger with wings, so he can't help but be proud, to Chu Dongcheng,
"With Weishan to help the king, great things will be done!"
Chu Dongcheng replied with a smile,
"With the prince here, the glory and wealth of the contemptible are just around the corner!"
When I catch you, the big leader of the rebellion, I will naturally be added to the rank and knight, and I will return with a beauty, and a good day is just around the corner!
The two looked at each other and laughed with their own ghosts.
But said that the Chu family was really refreshing, although the front grinding and chirping refused to give in, but once an alliance was formed, this action was vigorous and resolute, and within three days, the silver ticket of 200,000 taels was handed over to King Ning from Chu Dongcheng,
"Lord, this is the first batch of silver, and then there are three more batches, a total of one million taels of silver, you use the ...... first"
After a pause, Chu Dongcheng said again,
"The craftsmen of the Chu family who are good at making firearms have also moved from the capital now, and they will go south in a few days, only the location where the weapons are built must be prepared by the prince as soon as possible!"
King Ning had the silver in his hand, he was naturally very happy, and he was busy summoning his cronies' staff and a steward to the palace to discuss, and the Shen steward and his son-in-law Chu Yulin also arrived, and when the three of them met, their eyes flashed with different colors, and they all smiled and bowed, and they sat down separately and listened to King Ning's arrangements for various matters, and at this time they felt King Ning's team clearly.
They were in full swing preparing for a rebellion, and the emperor's Luan drove all the way south, rushing day and night, and there was no rest along the way, but the state capital along the way heard the wind to meet them, and the magistrates were puzzled, standing at the brightly lit dock, looking blankly at the huge fleet, but they didn't stop and sail downstream,
"Your Majesty, this is ...... Is this here for the southern tour, or is it for the boat race? ”
In such a hurry, it really took only 15 days to drive to Zhenjiang Mansion, but it was stopped there for half a day, and the local officials heard the news and went to meet them, but the emperor did not get off the boat, only let the officials and the people kowtow to the mountain at the pier and shout long live, and then Liu Jin limped out to everyone.
"Your Majesty's southern tour does not want to harass the people, only in Zhenjiang Mansion for half a day to replenish the supply, the local officials do not need to see the driver, they are busy!"
After hearing this, the officials hurriedly knelt down to thank His Majesty for his grace, and praised His Majesty for his compassion for his subjects.
So Luan drove away again in a song of praise and virtue.
The Wei Wu got the news and laughed,
"It's finally there, and it's almost a kick in the door!"
At the moment, he hurriedly went to find King Ning,
"Lord, do you know that the emperor's guard of honor has arrived in Zhenjiang?"
King Ning nodded and said,
"This king knows, Zhenjiang Tongzhi Lin Shaoxun is my person, he has already sent a letter over, saying that there is no one in the dragon chariot, and the emperor is not in it......"
Chu Dongcheng asked,
"Can the people sent by the prince find out where the emperor is?"
King Ning shook his head and frowned,
"There is really no rice bucket in that group, and there has been no news for such a long time!"
Later, news came from the other side of Jiujiang, saying that the emperor's honor guard was going to anchor in Jiujiang, and the local officials in Jiujiang were already preparing to take over the car.
After a few days, Chu Dongcheng came to find King Ning,
"Lord Wang, the people of our Chu family have sent news that a large number of people from Jinyiwei have been transferred to Jingdezhen, could it be that the emperor is in Jingdezhen?"
King Ning frowned when he heard this,
"What is the emperor doing in Jingdezhen?"
Chu Dongcheng responded,
"Our emperor has always been a master who does not follow the rules, as can be seen from his quiet departure from Beijing this time, who knows what he will do? I can't say I want to see how the bowl I eat is burned? ”
After a pause, he asked King Ning in a low voice,
"There are people near Jingdezhen...... The opportunity is rare, doesn't the prince want to do something? ”
King Ning's brows furrowed tightly, and he paced around the study twice with his hands in his hands, and looked back at Chu Dongcheng,
"The meaning of Weishan ......"
Chu Dongcheng smiled and said,
"Lord, our Emperor His Majesty has just gotten married, and he hasn't even given birth to a son yet......"
King Ning raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he still didn't say a word, Chu Dongcheng couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw it,
"There was a lot of noise in front of me to rebel, but now I really let it go, how can I be cowardly?"
King Ning is indeed a little cowardly, although he regards rebellion and recapture of the country as his life's work, and he is thinking of killing Ying Tianfu, pulling Zhu Houzhao off the dragon chair and sitting on it himself, but this opportunity is really in front of him, but he hesitates a little!
"This ...... Think about it again when you wait for this king! ”
"Lord, don't miss the opportunity, you won't come again!"
King Ning hesitated for a long time,
"This ...... Even if he kills the emperor, although he has no queen, there are so many vassal kings in the world, how can he let this king ascend to the throne! ”
Chu Dongcheng secretly rolled his eyes in his heart when he heard this,
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Even if you have no faith like this, what kind of rebellion do you make, isn't it good to be honest and be a prince who eats and sleeps when he is full! ”
But on the face is answered,
"Prince, this matter is easy to do, the prince can send a master, think of killing Zhu Houzhao, and then get a holy decree to come out, just say that the emperor was assassinated, and when he is dying, he will identify you as the successor emperor!"
King Ning thought for a moment and asked,
"Isn't this too far-fetched, people in the world are afraid that they may not be convinced!"
Chu Dongcheng wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart,
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Isn't it just an excuse to rebel? That's what you say...... Wouldn't it be more far-fetched for you, a vassal king, to be the emperor, how could you still think about the throne in your heart? ”
Now and answered,
"Lord Wang, don't you think that when Zhu Di was martyred, wasn't the excuse for raising troops even more ridiculous?"
Didn't he let him fight all the way to Yingtian and drive away the emperor's nephew?
King Ning still hesitated, thought about it and said,
"Let's wait until the king has summoned all his staff to discuss......"
Chu Dongcheng had no choice but to say,
"Everything is up to the prince, the opportunity is fleeting, and please make a decision as soon as possible!"
"This king knows!"
Chu Dongcheng pretended to be very disappointed and walked out of King Ning's mansion, but when he looked back at the vermilion lacquer gate, he shook his head and sneered,
"Let's not say whether this thing is true or not, but King Ning is so reckless in such a small matter, undecided in big things, greedy for small profits, and forgetful of righteousness!"
This King Ning is just Erer, he deserves to be played around!
