Chapter 35: Sun Ke is unattainable

Zhu Youlang fled to Nanning, the enemy army couldn't take care of chasing him for the time being, and Zhu Youlang still had a group of ministers around him to restore the Yongli Imperial Court, Zhu Cilang didn't have to worry about it, he could calm down and practice martial arts.

Zhu Cijiao will soon enter the age of seven, and he is getting closer and closer to the full awakening of the dragon protection system, his medicine and hunting skills have only been practiced, and the invisible skills are not involved, and in the next few months, the task of his cultivation is still very heavy.

He arranged a training plan for himself, first practicing medicine, then hunting, and finally practicing invisibility, he could go out of the mountain, and he could escort his father and emperor.

"Threading the needle and leading" is the basic skill of medicine, Zhu Cijiao's master only taught him in the first few days, he practiced for two days and three days, the basic routine is mastered, but it is still a little hot, the master and the senior sister went to collect medicine, and he practiced alone in front of the hut.

The sun shone down through the heavy dark clouds, although there was not much temperature, but it more or less plated a layer of warm color on the cold winter morning, and also cast a bright light on Zhu Cijiao's mood that had been suppressed for many days.

Shan jump, take off, flip, throw pins...... The cold wind passed through the shallow sun, and Zhu Cijiao repeatedly practiced these basic movements that he had practiced countless times, and these movements were coherent, which was "threading the needle".

……

At this time, in Nanning Mansion, the Southern Ming Dynasty went to court for the first time after moving to Nanning. Although there were not many officials in the previous dynasty, the ministers had a very heated discussion around "the life and death of the Southern Ming Dynasty and where to go".

The ministers know very well that the current Nanming court only has the jurisdiction of Nanning, no soldiers, no generals, no protection at all, if the enemy attack, only give up. What should we do now?

Wen Anzhi, the chief university scholar, put forward the strategy of "Liansun to resist the Qing Dynasty": "The minister believes that only by seeking foreign aid can the imperial court be saved from fire and water, and the former Great Western Army Sun Kewang can also be used, so he suggested that Zhao'an crown him as the king and let him send troops to guard." ”

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the officials were corrupt, the taxes were heavy, and the peasants in various places rose up, and the two peasant uprising armies of the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army led by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong respectively were the most representative.

The Dashun army led by Li Zicheng entered the city of Beijing, forced Emperor Chongzhen to death, and established the Dashun Dynasty, and then suffered a crushing defeat at the Qing army and was killed, and the Dashun Dynasty collapsed.

The Great Western Army led by Zhang Xianzhong entrenched in Yunnan-Guichuan and established the Great Western regime. He was very righteous about the nation, believing that the peasant uprising was an internal matter of the nation, and the entry of the Qing army into the customs was an invasion by foreign tribes, and it was necessary to unite with the outside world. So, he led the Western Army north to resist the Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Xianzhong received four righteous sons, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi, and became his right-hand man.

Before going north to resist the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong specially told the righteous sons that the Ming Dynasty was orthodox for three hundred years, and if he died in battle, they must return to the Ming Dynasty and not do unrighteous things again.

There are unforeseen circumstances, who expected that this became Zhang Xianzhong's last words, he went north and was killed by an arrow while commanding the battle, and his righteous son Ai Nengqi was also killed in the battle. Of Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons, only three remain.

After Zhang Xianzhong's death, his three righteous sons divided the remaining men and horses of the Great Western Army into three camps, Sun Kewang occupied Guizhou, Li Dingguo occupied Yunnan, and Liu Wenxiu occupied southern Sichuan.

Now that the Southern Ming Dynasty has fled to the Yunnan-Guichuan border, the remnants of the original Great Western Army are indeed usable forces. In particular, Sun Kewang, who is entrenched in Guiyang, is not only the closest to Nanning, but also has tens of thousands of troops, and has the most conditions for sending troops to guard.

The ministers of the DPRK and China all felt that this strategy was feasible, and they all stood up and agreed, imploring Zhu Youlang to make a decision as soon as possible.

Celebrant eunuch Wang Kun: Your Majesty, what Lord Wen said is true, win over Sun Kewang and resist the Qing army in the south, so that the Southern Ming can continue, please make a decision quickly.

Hanlin Academy's review of Jiang Qichang: Emperor Qiqi, what Lord Wen said is that the imperial court is the time to use people and soldiers, and only Sun Kewang can solve the urgent need for the imperial court to burn his eyebrows, and ask the emperor to make a decision quickly.

Wen'an Hou Ma Jixiang: Your Majesty, what Lord Wen said is true, the only thing the court can count on at the moment is Sun Kewang, and it is important to ask him to send troops into the guard, sooner rather than later, please make a decision quickly.

……

In the court, the ministers who pinned their hopes on Sun Kewang were one-sided, and no one raised objections or objections.

Sun Kewang, born recklessly, if it weren't for the troubled times and the rebellion of thieves, it would be impossible for the ministers of the court to even know his name, let alone understand this person.

Although his name contains the meaning of hope, is Sun Kewang really worth looking forward to? Knowing people is good, and even people don't know, how can they be good?

This brought a problem to Zhu Youlang, who was not assertive and not good at decision-making, and he supported his forehead with his hand, at a loss, and entered a state of contemplation.

At this time, Wu Zhenyu, a scholar, stepped forward and said: "It is hopeful that the king will recruit Ansun, you must think twice before acting, and you must not act hastily." ”

As soon as Wu Zhenyu's words came out, it immediately caused a rift among the ministers in the hall.

"Your Majesty, wait and think twice, the Southern Ming Dynasty has long since died."

"Your Majesty, if you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it."

……

In the court, although the ministers were gossiping, Zhu Youlang didn't react, and saw him holding his forehead with his right hand motionless, as if he was still thinking.

Li Guotai, the eunuch with him, stepped forward to take a look and found that Zhu Youlang had fallen asleep, and his head supported by his right hand nodded from time to time.

Li Guotai naturally couldn't tell the ministers that the emperor was asleep, so he only said to the ministers: "Everyone is quiet, the emperor is thinking." ”

At this time, Zhu Youlang was talking to Zhu Ciyu in a dream, listening to the prince's opinion, he was used to this way of making decisions, to be honest, without the prince, he really didn't know what to do.

Feng Wang Zhao'an, after all, is a major event in the court, and he doesn't dare not believe the words of the ministers, and he doesn't dare to believe them all, so he can only listen to Zhu Cijiao's opinions.

"Er, just now everyone asked Feng Sun Kewang to be the king and recruit him to send troops to guard, do you think it's appropriate?" Zhu Youlang asked Zhu Ciyu.

"Thank you for your father's trust in his son, since my father listens to his son's opinion, then he will tell the truth." Zhu Cijiao shook his hands and gave Zhu Youlang a greeting salute.

"Father, the imperial court really needs external forces at the moment, and it is a good policy to recruit the rest of the Great Western Army, but the people recruited must be able to manage them, Sun Kewang's ambitions are too great, and he must not."

As soon as Zhu Ciyu said this, Zhu Youlang was shocked.

"Specifically, what is his ambition? Why not? ”

"Sun Kewang has the ambition to be the emperor, and now he has a heavy army, and the court can't control him, recruiting him into the guard, he will inevitably coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, which is the biggest danger."

"Erchen's words, is it alarmist?" Listening to Zhu Ciyao's words, Zhu Youlang felt even more conflicted.

"This is just the judgment and prediction of the future of the son, and it is only for the reference of the father." Zhu Cijiao said, his figure shook for a moment, and gradually disappeared.

Although Zhu Cijiao is the crown prince, he is only six years old after all, and he is only making a dream to make a speech, whether to adopt his suggestion, and the final decision is made by Zhu Youlang.

The reason why Zhu Cijiao gave Zhu Youlang a dream was just to remind his father, who was very distressed, and he really didn't want his father to suffer more.

If his father had taken his advice, the Southern Ming court would have avoided a catastrophe. If it is not adopted, then it will be regarded as one more lesson for the Southern Ming court, but the cost of this lesson is a bit large.

In short, what happened next will be verified one by one, and every word Zhu Cijiao said will become a fact.
