Chapter 3: Qingjun Side!
Zhu Yousong turned his head to look over, his face was very ugly.
I didn't wake up early, I didn't wake up late, but I woke up at this time.
Now what?
Zhu Yousong had the intention to kill the prince without stopping, but he didn't want to bear this infamy, so he turned his head to look at the side.
Wang Duo was also panicked, Emperor Hongguang's eyes were so unscrupulous, he knew what he was thinking.
But the problem is, he doesn't want to.
No one wants to be a backstabber, Wang Duo understands that Hongguang himself is not a decisive master, and he can have this idea, all because of what he said just now.
Now that the basin is back to himself, he naturally pretends to be stupid.
Seeing that Wang Duo was silent, Zhu Yousong didn't dare to kill him directly, and after hesitating, Wang Zhiming on the couch was already gradually sobering up.
“… Is Lone still alive? ”
"Let Lone die, Lone has no face to live!"
Wang Zhiming struggled to get up from the couch, but fell to the ground due to weakness.
When the doctor saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Your Highness, you are weak and can no longer move."
"Cough, cough, cough..." Wang Zhiming coughed violently, verifying his words.
The opportunity has been lost, Zhu Yousong glared at the bachelor who no longer spoke viciously, and said with a smile:
"The prince will rest in my palace for a few days, and the matter is very high, and I will be allowed to discuss with Zhuqing in the court, and then make a decision."
Hearing this, it is obvious that he has already admitted that he is the true prince.
Wang Zhiming was ecstatic in his heart, but there was no joy on his face, and he sighed pretending to be worried, and said:
"I'm sorry for Uncle Huang, in the palace today, there is something wrong with Lonely."
"The fall of the capital division and the martyrdom of the first emperor, every time I think of it, I am lonely and unbearable, as if there is a fire that is about to emerge!"
"Three hundred years of Daming, is it going to die today?"
Zhu Yousong glanced at it slightly, and saw that the prince's face was full of hatred and hatred, not like he was pretending at all, and he believed it a little more in his heart.
So he said: "The matter has come to this, so we can only do our best and obey the destiny of heaven." ”
Seeing Zhu Yousong and Wang Duo going out one after another, Wang Zhiming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Dangerous, too dangerous!
If Hongguang hadn't violated the woman's kindness, he would have died!
At the same time, this also tells Wang Zhiming that if he has this opportunity, he must not be merciful!
If I hadn't pretended to be like myself, I wouldn't be in this splendid palace tonight, but in the edict that doesn't see the light of day.
When the time comes, it will really be that there is no way to enter the sky and no way to enter the earth!
However, this is only the first hurdle, even if the Hongguang Imperial Court reluctantly admits that he is the real prince, many people still don't believe it in their hearts.
What's more, now he is not only facing the mess of Nanming, but also the Qing army that is about to go south.
At least for now, Wang Zhiming has no ambitions, he just wants to live.
But judging from his current identity, if he doesn't stand up and pretend to be a real prince, the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty will definitely not let him live.
If it had fallen into the hands of the Tartars, history would have proven that Dorgon would hang himself alive.
Then there is only one way left, and you must become emperor.
Wang Zhiming has no choice, now only the knife handle in his own hand is the only hope to survive.
......
Rumors were raging, and the news of the return of Zhu Cihong, the prince of Chongzhen, spread far and wide.
It is said that this prince was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the beak of the ministers on the Wuying Palace, and his gestures were calm and moderate, even the former Beijing Camp Governor Lu Jiude and the East Palace attendant Wang Duo were speechless.
After the students of the Donglin Restoration Society spared no effort to publicize, the poems and songs were chanted one by one, and the news was like growing legs, running faster and faster.
The people of Nanjing and the civil and military forces in other places are more inclined to believe that the prince who came this time is real, after all, what big truth do the little people know?
So the problem is, once Zhu Yousong promised when he ascended the throne to supervise the country that he would immediately abdicate once the crown prince returned to the court.
Now that the prince is back, the palace is also confronted, is it true or false, but give a word!
If it's true, you can quickly abdicate, and if you say it's false, we don't believe it.
All in all, Hongguang, you just need to abdicate quickly.
However, the dragon chair next to the ass is not so easy to give up, no one can give up the right to get it casually, and Zhu Yousong is no exception.
It's just that the Hongguang Imperial Court seems to be united, but in fact it is also a plate of scattered sand.
For a few days, not only did he not officially admit whether the prince was true or false, but he did not even release a useful piece of news.
There was such a big thing, but the court did not move for several days, and it was even more suspected that the real prince had returned, and more and more rumors spread.
After all, Zhu Cihong is the crown prince officially canonized by Emperor Chongzhen, and if he is really alive, legitimacy will naturally come first.
Soon, a person's letter arrived in the city of Nanjing, which shocked the Hongguang court.
This person is Zuo Liangyu, who is known as having 800,000 troops in Jiangzuo!
Not to mention how much water Zuo Liangyu has in this 800,000 and how elite it is, the number alone is enough to be frightening.
Zuo Liangyu also understands this, although he can't beat Li Chuang, he can't beat the Qing army, but he still holds the handle against the four little brothers in Jiangbei.
Therefore, Zuo Liangyu's words in the letter were very arrogant, and he did not take the civil and military ministers and Emperor Hongguang in Nanjing in his eyes at all.
The general meaning is that the prince must be true, Your Majesty, you have not come forward to confirm it for so long, I think it is a weak heart, I am afraid that the prince has been placed under house arrest.
The prince is in danger in Nanjing, and Lao Tzu, as the world's first-class loyal minister and good general, naturally wants to take the thirty-six battalions down the river to find Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, why did you rebel?
The slogan is easy to find, three words, Qingjun side!
Loud and vivid!
But when this slogan is shouted, one person can't sit still.
The slogan of the Qing monarch is not shouted indiscriminately, but it is necessary to cut off a so-called "traitorous minister" to give the public an explanation.
This person is the current cabinet chief assistant Ma Shiying.
Of course, Ma Shiying understands that no matter what, this prince must be fake, because the Donglin Party has been very active recently.
This group of Donglin Party preached everywhere all day long, so that the people of Nanjing now believe it.
It is obvious that this fake prince has a leg with the Donglin Party.
But now Ma Shiying can't care so much, Zuo Liangyu's so-called slogan on the side of the Qing monarch, listening to his ears, is tantamount to shouting that he wants to rush into Nanjing and cut himself.
If there were eighty people, Ma Shiying would laugh at it, but now there are 800,000 people rushing over, which is more than the four towns in Jiangbei combined.
Who can sleep here?
So, Ma Shiying hurried to meet Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong.
Zhu Yousong has been worrying about how to deal with this prince recently, and now that the news has spread, it is impossible to admit that it is true.
Hearing Ma Shiying's request to see, it was like grasping the last straw, and before he could fully enter the dormitory, he opened his mouth to ask urgently.
"Aiqing, do you have a high opinion?"
No one expected that Ma Shiying's opinion was to transfer troops.
That's right, Ma Shiying came in this time, not because the prince was true or not, but to transfer troops from Jiangbei to Jiangzuo to guard against Zuo Liangyu, who was about to go south.
Tune whom?
It must be Huang Degong, and only Huang Degong!
In the so-called four towns of Jiangbei, only Huang Degong took Zhu Yousong, the emperor's "holy decree", seriously.
The other three have long been in a situation of "obeying the imperial court from afar and separating their own territories".
For Ma Shiying, admitting that the crown prince is true is definitely not good.
The reason why this fake prince can have such a big impact in just a few days is precisely because there is Donglin Party propaganda behind him, and once he gets the position, he will not end well.
And judging from the performance of Wu Yingdian at that time, this fake prince looks like he understands everything, and he is a little too shrewd.
In contrast, it is obvious that Hongguang, who is raised as a pig, is better fooled.
To put it simply, his purpose in putting forward this opinion is as simple as Wang Zhiming, that is, he wants to deal with Zuo Liangyu first, so that he can continue to live.
However, when Zhu Yousong heard this, his brain went black.
You're not here to give advice, but you're here to let me protect you?
What kind of Shousuke are you?
Even if you do what you say, no matter if you win or lose, the prince's problem will still not be solved.
In Zhu Yousong's opinion, no matter what, Zuo Liangyu would not dare to kill the monarch in public, at most he rushed in and cut Ma Shiying.
When Cao Cao was in the Ming Dynasty, this was also unrealistic.
It's none of his business, Zhu Yousong is naturally unwilling to find trouble.
While hesitating, the eunuch Lu Jiude suddenly rushed in from outside the door and shouted loudly: "Oh no, Your Majesty, the scholars have gathered to make trouble!" ”
