Chapter 181: First Meeting with the Second Domain
The secret letter sent by Shen Shuren to the capital, even if it takes six hundred miles to expedite the messenger, it will take at least three or four days to arrive, after all, there are chaos along the way, and you have to make a detour.
What's more, his secret letter was sent by a private person, and he is not qualified to use six hundred miles to expedite, so it will be even slower.
Considering Qin Liangyu's emergency request for help, he arrived in Xinyang four days earlier than him and continued to go north, so he definitely couldn't catch up.
However, Shen Shuren estimated that even if Chongzhen got an emergency report now, it would be impossible to make a decision to rescue Sichuan so quickly - it is now more than half of November of Chongzhen's fifteenth year, what is Chongzhen's mess rotten, just Sichuan, how high can the priority be?
Even if the emperor wanted to transfer troops, he would have no troops available, or he would really not be able to reach them. When Qin Liangyu's urgent report arrived, Shen Shuren's good news here in Henan might not have been delivered.
If Chongzhen thought that Shen Shuren was still surrounded by Li Zicheng and could not move in Chen County, then it would be impossible for him to order Shen Shuren to rescue Sichuan immediately.
At most, it is just to write empty checks and appoint a few local officials in Sichuan, and then throw the blame and let these people find their own ways to take office to level the thieves.
Therefore, Shen Shuren estimated that before the end of November, it was unlikely that the capital would send a will on how to deal with the Sichuan issue.
Taking advantage of this time difference, he gradually moved his troops to the vicinity of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and made preparations, so that he would not delay things too much as soon as the order arrived.
……
After Chen County finished taking care of the dishes, Shen Shuren took more than 1,000 elite escort cavalry and returned to Xinyang County directly through Shangcai and Ruyang.
He has just been released from Chen County, and it is necessary to take time to meet King Lu and King Fu, who have been rescued for several days, and by the way, make a relationship and sell a favor.
On the other hand, since he got the latest situation of rescuing King Lu and King Fu from Huang Degong yesterday, Shen Shuren had thought a lot about the long-term arrangements of the vassal king that night-
Of course, he knew that King Fu later became Emperor Hongguang in history, and he also knew about the Fulu dispute between Shi Kefa and others. Now that the only two vassal kings who will be closest to Chongzhen's blood in the future have been saved by his troops, this credit is not small. Of course, we should take the opportunity to investigate the kings to see what kind of people they are, who they should puppet in the future, and whether the records in the history books are reliable.
Some people may wonder: Why do you say that King Lu and King Fu are the closest collateral vassal kings in this world to Chongzhen's blood relationship? Isn't there still a dispute between King Gui in history?
Here we must remind a little about the butterfly effect caused by Shen Shuren: King Gui's whole family was killed by Zhang Xianzhong in Hengzhou a long time ago, and none of the heirs escaped.
In addition, according to Qin Liangyu's urgent report just relayed by Zhang Mingzhen, Zhang Xianzhong attacked Chongqing more than ten days ago. That also means that most of Lao Fuwang's fifth brother, Zhu Changhao, the king of Rui in Chongqing, has also been killed by Zhang Xianzhong.
In this way, in this time and space, isn't there only King Fu and King Lu left, and other people's bloodlines will only be farther away than King Lu.
Shen Shuren rode for two days, and arrived in Xinyang County on November 18. Liu Guoneng also took Yuan Shizhong out of the city dozens of miles to greet him, and Shen Shuren inevitably appeased and encouraged them.

At the beginning of the month, Huang Degong, who surrendered, was afraid of being reorganized and liquidated, so Huang Degong temporarily made his own decision and arranged for him to temporarily accept Liu Guoneng's control.
Liu Guoneng is also the leader of the thieves in the court of Shun anyway, and the situation is similar to Yuan Shizhong, which should make the other party feel at ease.
Shen Shuren said very down-to-earth: "General Yuan can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, as long as he serves the court well in the future, he will naturally be able to be named a wife and a son-General Liu is the first to meet the enemy, and in four or five years, he has accumulated merit and added the title of General Breaker, you have to follow it well, and think that it is an example."
Now you have not yet had significant military merits, this official will temporarily show you as a guerrilla, after a while, this officer may have to lead troops into Sichuan reinforcements, if you can work with the generals to fight Zhang Xianzhong, I am afraid that you will not be able to glorify your ancestors. ”
Yuan Shizhong bowed his head at a moment's notice: "The last general will live up to the expectations of Lord Futai and fight with all his might." ”
After Shen Shuren finished dealing with Yuan Shizhong, he turned to Liu Guoneng and asked casually, "How are the princes doing here?" ”
Liu Guoneng replied cautiously: "Three days ago, Huang Degong transferred several princes here, His Royal Highness the Little Fu King, it is really ...... When he saw a general, he wanted to get close, but King Lu lived in a simple place and didn't want to be disturbed. The last general did not get your instructions from Lord Futai, and he did not dare to respond to King Xiaofu's set. ”
When Shen Shuren heard this, he was also slightly surprised. Although Xiaofu King Zhu Yousong almost showed favor to the generals, he must have done it in private, and he may not fall behind.
But now that Chongzhen is not dead, he already has ambitions in this regard? Could it be that he also saw that his cousin killed Zhongliang indiscriminately because he was stubborn, and in the end there would be no one to use to blow himself up?
It seems that this is a master with ideas and ideas!
It's a pity that Shen Shuren doesn't need a master with ideas.
is too thoughtful, if he is as resolute and decisive as Chongzhen, how can he transform the Ming Dynasty? Isn't Chongzhen going to die in vain?
For Shen Shuren, the most perfect puppet should actually be Liu Chan's personality - to be exact, it has to be the early Liu Chan during Zhuge Liang's reign, and it is best to be able to unconditionally trust the minister, "no matter how big or small the political affairs are, the salt is determined by the brightness".
In this way, Shen Shucai can play the role of Zhuge Liang without any constraints and preside over the Northern Expedition to restore the world.
After having a thought in his heart, Shen Shuren was led into the city by Liu Guoneng.
Just walked less than two or three hundred steps on the straight street in the north of the city, far from the government office, a few cars and horses suddenly turned out at the entrance of the street, although the carriage did not look very decent, but it was also temporarily painted, and it was used in four cars, Shen Shuren moved, and knew that this was the prince's car.
Since ancient times, only the emperor can use a six-horse cart, and four horses are already the treatment of princes.
Sure enough, after seeing Shen Shuren and his party, the incoming car quickly stopped, and a eunuch lifted the curtain, and a middle-aged man in his thirties took the lead in getting out of the car and greeted Shen Shuren with a spring breeze on his face:
"General Liu, what a coincidence, I was able to meet here. I haven't seen you for two days, don't come unharmed? This must be the Governor of Huguang Shen in person, right? A few days ago, I heard Huang Zongzhen say that the thieves wanted to attack Xinyang in the south and kill Xiao Wang.

Yesterday, there was good news from the front, saying that the thieves had been broken, and it must be Shen Futai's proper planning and the soldiers' lives. It is the luck of the Ming Dynasty to be able to get a giant like Shen Futai, build the pillars of the sea, and turn the sky into the sky, and the ancestors are blessed. ”
Liu Guoneng hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and helped Shen Shuren to introduce: "This is His Royal Highness the King of Blessing!" ”
Shen Shuren had no choice but to bow down reluctantly, and now this number of etiquette is still indispensable, although he is a little wronged, it is better than giving someone a handle.
That person was really the Fu King Zhu Yousong, he was also very good at being a man, and immediately rushed over in two steps, grabbed Shen Shuren's arm, and stopped him from continuing to worship: "Shen Futai is Xiao Wang's life-saving benefactor, how can he deserve it?" Hurry up and excuse me! ”
Shen Shuren didn't want to worship, so he took advantage of the situation. When he came to this world, there was no way to bow down to Chongzhen, and after Chongzhen, he didn't want to grovel to others like this.
Of course, because of the relationship between feudal etiquette and religion, he did not have the strength to bombard Confucian etiquette for the time being. So go back to your own home and bow down to your fleshly cheap parents, there is still no way. Shen Tingyang has to provide for the rest of his life, which is the limitation of the times and is not among them.
Although I don't worship anymore, I still have to say what I should say if I am humble.
So Shen Shuren showed his political correctness in a vigorous and humble manner: "His Royal Highness has an overreputation, and he really tortures the lower officials, everything is the life of the soldiers, and the subordinates only dispatch the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, how dare they be greedy for the merits of the heavens for themselves?"
As the so-called northerners are afraid of Zhao Xi, they are really afraid of the millions of heroes of the King of Chu, and it is the soldiers and horses of my Ming court who break through the thieves, and they eat the military salaries of the Ming court. I was powerless myself, and I didn't have a blade for a single thief, but I just supervised it. ”
Shen Shuren's words are all in a state of vigilance that "foreign ministers can't make friends with vassal kings casually", but he will not offend Zhu Yousong, and he can still use everything as an excuse for "fear of being chewed by his tongue".
Such a polite response that is neither soft nor hard makes Zhu Yousong very temperamental, just as he is timid and cautious, and he is afraid of the factional struggle between the DPRK and China.
"Shen Futai is too cautious, okay, Xiao Wang remembers your loyalty, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can no longer worry about criticism from outsiders, let's talk about the past." Zhu Yousong left a reason and temporarily gave up further alliances.
After all, he doesn't have a clear plan of action now, he just wants to have dates or not, and make friends with people first. As long as the other party doesn't have a bad feeling for him, it's a victory-
Don't really think that Zhu Yousong is too demanding, because he is the son of Lao Fu Wang, and Lao Fu Wang has accumulated many grievances after fighting with the Donglin Party for so long because of his fight for the country.
Therefore, Zhu Yousong knows very well that at least eighty percent of the officials in the world do not like to be close to him. Shen Shuren can be neither humble nor arrogant with a bowl of water, which is already good, which means that he is not wearing the same pants as the Donglin Party.
It's a pity that Zhu Yousong didn't know that after a while, when Shen Shuren had the opportunity to meet his Uncle Luwang, he would have another face.
……
After Shen Shuren and King Fu were tempted by their words for the first time, they were quickly taken to the palace by Liu Guineng, rested a little to clean up, and washed away the dust of the servants.
He changed into clean and decent clothes, prepared some small gifts that ended immediately, and asked where the other party was staying, so he took a few attendants to visit King Lu's residence.

It is said that he has just expressed his attitude to Zhu Yousong, and the foreign ministers should not make friends with the vassal king casually, so when he saw King Lu, he naturally wanted a bowl of water.
Fortunately, Shen Shuren had an excuse, and it was what he thought of when he just said goodbye to Queen Fu - he led the army to break through from Chen County and fight with Li Zicheng this time, isn't it to prevent Li Zicheng from making a roundabout and breaking the city and killing the kings?
Now that King Fu is sound and healthy, but King Lu has never shown up, Shen Shuren should always confirm whether the other party is in good health or frightened by some kind of chaos.
There could not be more than one more appropriate reason.
