Attacking Emperor Yongli and causing him to die in Sun Kewang's control area was a decision made by Su Yan after careful consideration.

Sun Kewang's arrogance and contempt for the imperial court have been known to the world, and the ministers of the court and the central government have all been poisoned by Sun Kewang, allowing the emperor to die on his territory, which can be described as indefensible with Sun Kewang's notorious reputation.

Moreover, welcoming the emperor to Nanjing and letting him sit on his head to restrain himself, isn't this finding a father for himself? Su Yancai would not do such a thing that would harm his own interests—although this could allow him to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Does he need it, though?

With his strength, which "princes" in the world can threaten him, and there is no need for so many fancy intestines at this point now.

What he wants is to show an attitude, let Emperor Yongli allow him to go on the road, if Sun Kewang blocks it, then he also has an excuse to start a war against Sun Kewang, even if Sun Kewang does not stop it, the Rogers commando team he sent out in advance can also act according to the plan.

The news of Su Yan's letter requesting the emperor to move to Nanjing soon spread, and the gentry and literati who cherished the Ming court began to praise Su Yan's loyalty, and some of them even began to fantasize about the prosperous era that the imperial court would create after moving to the southern capital.

However, there are also some people who remain pessimistic, they do not think that Su Yan is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, they are worried that Su Yan will become the second Cao Cao, and even follow in the footsteps of Sun Kewang - if Su Yan becomes Sun Kewang's second, then no one will be able to restrain him.

In the yamen of the governor of Changsha, after Sun Kewang learned the news of Su Yan's performance, he couldn't help but be furious, and smashed some of the furnishings in the study, and the subordinates who served around him knelt on the ground in a hurry, and they didn't even dare to come out.

After venting the anger in his chest after some littering, Sun Kewang quickly calmed down, and he ordered someone to invite his trusted staff cronies to discuss how to deal with the matter.

He is not a reckless man without brains, he already had ideas in his heart before discussing with his staff and cronies, but after Fan Yingxu and the others arrived, he did not directly say his thoughts, but listened to their opinions first.

"Lord, we must not let Su Yan welcome the emperor and the court back to Nanjing, if it is as Su Yan wants, it will be a catastrophe for us!"

"According to the opinion of his subordinates, where is Su Yan's true loyalty to Yongli, he is just using the emperor as an excuse to attack the lord, so as to hit the prestige of the lord of the country within the court and pull the hearts of the world's scholars to his side."

“……”

The staff chattered a lot, but none of them put forward good opinions, and just when Sun Kewang was a little impatient, Admiral Wang Shangli said in a deep voice:

"Lord, this emperor can't be handed over, but he must be handed over."

"Why did the Admiral say that?" Sun Kewang asked rhetorically.

"There are one reasons why you can't hand it over." Wang Shangli said: "The imperial court moved to the southern capital, with Su Yan's monstrous power, the imperial court will definitely take him as the center, and the ministers of the court and the central government hate the lord, if he succeeds in inciting Su Yan to be the enemy of the lord of the country, and crusade against the lord in the name of the court, the lord of the country will lose his righteousness." ”

After speaking, Wang Shangli paused, and said: "The reason why it must be handed over is simpler, Su Yan's request for the imperial court to move eastward is reasonable, if the lord of the country forcibly withholds it, the corporal of the world or the people of the Ming family will all rise up and attack it, and the lord of the country is equivalent to using the land of Yungui to fight against the Ming and Qing dynasties and the people of the world, and I hope that the lord of the country will think twice." ”

His voice fell, including Sun Kewang, the faces of everyone present changed greatly, for no other reason, what Wang Shangli said was extremely true, Su Yan's move was equivalent to roasting him on the fire, no matter what they chose, the final result would be unfavorable to them.

"At this point, we can only choose the lesser of two and choose the one that has the least to lose us." Sun Kewang said in a deep voice.

If the lesser of the two phases is taken, according to what Wang Shangli said, it is natural that he should choose to release the person, and only in this way can he avoid being attacked by the whole world.

However, Sun Kewang was a little unwilling to hand over the emperor so easily, although his original idea was to hand over Yongli.

Sun Kewang was not as thoughtful as Wang Shangli thought at first, and the reason why he wanted to send the emperor away was still based on his own interests.

At present, Su Yan is rising in the southeast, the Ming court is no longer weak, and Sun Kewang cannot be light (this chapter is not finished!). )

Chapter 253: King Chu Yan

It is easy to interfere in the court situation, and Su Yan's strength also makes the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty become a hot potato in the hands of Sun Kewang, and it is like chicken ribs, and it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless.

When Wang Shangli heard Sun Kewang say this, he immediately bowed and saluted, saying, "The lord of the country, his subordinates believe that they should not only agree to move the emperor and the imperial court to the southern capital, but also send troops to escort them to Su Yan's control area with great fanfare.

At the same time, we should also write a sincere essay to show the whole world that the lord of the country has never had the idea of controlling the court, so that even if the court really wants to attack the lord after moving east, this piece of essay can also shake some people. ”

Sun Kewang listened to this, pondered for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Tina will be as the Admiral said." ”

After Sun Kewang made the decision to agree to release the people to move east, the situation was still fermenting.

Almost on the same day that Su Yan's petition for the imperial court to move was sent to Anlong, a fierce discussion broke out again within the imperial court, and the officials of the pro-Qin faction opposed the eastward move, believing that the imperial court did not fully understand Su Yan and that it was not wise to move eastward rashly, and expressed clear opposition to the Yongli Emperor's proposal to change the reward for Su Yan.

In their opinion, Su Yan was a member of the imperial court no matter how unbearable he was, and his background was more innocent and orthodox than Sun Kewang's group of western thieves.

It can be said that what they support is not Su Yan, but simply against Sun Kewang, and Su Yan is just a target pushed out by them.

No matter how noisy the court was, a few days later, in response to Su Yan's eastward move, the court finally issued a holy decree.

"Bong

Day carrier

The emperor, the edict said:

Since I ascended the throne, all the military affairs, the use of people and administration, not to be tired, dare not be self-eased, Yang for the ancestor Mo Lie Zhaoyi, entrusted to the heavy, Cheng Ao Xingqing, the end in Yuanliang, Mao Tu awarded, as a feudal screen in the imperial room, Tonggui pet tin, macro belt in the royal family, Jiayu Ye Rong, En Chong Xuan, Yan Tianhuang distribution, etiquette and Yi Qin. Su Yanqing, the king of Nan'an County, was born in his life, and he did not slack off, which was actually the will of God, and he abided by the first edict, and the ceremony was submissive to public opinion, and Su Yan, the king of Nan'an County, was canonized as the hereditary king of Chu, and was given the fief Huguang Wuchang Mansion and awarded the treasure......

Announce it to the world, and make it hear.

Greatly.

The first day of the fourth month of the sixth year of Yongli. ”

In addition to canonizing Su Yan as the king of Chu, the imperial court also canonized many generals in Su Yan's army-

Jin Fu'an Hou Su resigned as the Duke of Huaiguo.

Pingyang Bosu Dingyuan is the Marquis of Pingyang.

Beixi Bo Wang Yi is the Marquis of Beixi.

Zhang Mingzhen, Marquis of Dingxi, was the Duke of Dingguo.

The governor of the left capital, Zhang Mingyang, was promoted as Xing'anbo.

Zhang Huangyan, the secretary of the military department, is Shundebo.

The rest of the people also had additional officials and knights, so Su Yanjun was as festive as the New Year.
