"Ahem, ahem, how did the Aiqing go?" Zhu Youlang woke up, no, it should have been a dream, he coughed twice and asked.

"Back to the emperor, the minister suggested recruiting An Sun Kewang!"

"Return to the emperor, recruit Ansun Kewang!"

……

In the court, except for some doubts about individual ministers such as Wu Zhenyu, most ministers advocated recruiting An Sun Kewang.

"Just now, the prince came to the dream, and it is recommended not to recruit Ansun Kewang." Zhu Youlang still told the ministers of Zhu Cijiao's suggestion, because it was not the first time that the prince had dreamed of the apparition, and it didn't hurt to say it.

"Your Majesty, although the prince's dream has worked many times, but after all, it is a dream, in case it doesn't work this time, Zhao'an Sun Kewang is the only feasible way, is the emperor a minister, or does he believe in a dream?" Wen An's rhetoric was a bit radical.

Zhu Youlang looked at the court's official words one-sided, if he adopted Zhu Cijiao's dream suggestion this time, it would definitely cause the anger of the ministers, and in the end he could only adopt the proposal of most ministers.

Zhu Youlang gently tapped on the dragon chair: "I will adopt the opinions of Zhong Aiqing, and then issue an order, Feng Sun Kewang will be the king of Ji, and send the editor Liu Dawei as an envoy to Guiyang to announce the decree." ”

"The emperor is shengming, long live the emperor, long live, long live."

In the court, the ministers bowed to the ground to show their support for this major decision of the imperial court.

Li Guotai went to the study to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Zhu Youlang drafted the holy decree of Sun Kewang as the king of wings in the hall, stamped it with a big seal, and handed it to the editor Liu Daren.

"This is my will, you go to Guiyang for me, and discuss with Sun Kewang about the matter of sealing the king and recruiting peace."

"The minister obeys the order, and he will go to fight for Zhao'an." Liu Bianxiu took the holy decree, took two guards, and set off immediately.

Dozens of court officials moved to the door to see off Liu Bianxiu, which meant success or failure.

Liu Bianxiu quickly whipped his horse and marched to Guiyang, thousands of miles away, and three days later Liu Bianxiu arrived at the mansion of Sun Kewang in Guiyang.

What he didn't expect was that as an envoy sent by Emperor Yongli himself, Sun Kewang didn't take him seriously at all.

The introduction document issued by the Southern Ming Dynasty court was sent to the mansion for a few hours, and Sun Kewang did not come to meet him for a long time, so Liu Xiuxiu waited in the cold wind for a few hours.

What made Liu Bianxiu even more unexpected was that Sun Kewang had not waited for the imperial court to grant the title, and had already regarded himself as the king of Qin and issued orders.

King Qin, that is the title of Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty, the second son Zhu Zhang, ranked first among all the domains, and has been handed down for more than 200 years, how can it be replaced by Sun Kewang.

Emperor Yongli intends to crown Sun Kewang as the king of Ji, which is already considered an exception, if it is not for the time when Nanming is in danger, he will never be crowned king.

"Phew, just a Sun Kewang, also worthy of being called the King of Qin?" Liu Bianxiu, who was standing in the cold wind, couldn't help but spit on the ground.

……

Liu Bianxiu waited in the cold wind for three hours before being summoned into the mansion by Sun Kewang.

"Please Sun Kewang to take the order." Liu Bianxiu prepared the decree in accordance with the practice of the imperial court.

"This king has not been included in the Ming Dynasty, so he will be exempted from receiving the decree, if he has something to say, if he has a fart, he will let it go." Sun Kewang didn't have Emperor Yongli at all in his eyes, and he was rampant to the point that there was no one in his eyes.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict: Sun Kewang has meritorious service in resisting the Qing Dynasty, and I have given Sun Kewang the king of Ji, please send troops into the guard as soon as possible, and I will do this." Liu Bianxiu continued to finish the emperor's decree.

"This king is not subject to recruitment, you go back and tell your emperor that if you want to give the title, you will give this king the title of King of Qin, otherwise you don't have to talk about it."

Seeing this, Sun Kewang's subordinate Yang Weizhi persuaded Sun Kewang to say: "How can a fake king be like a real king, let's accept the title of King Ji!" ”。

But Sun Kewang still ignored it, took the holy decree and glanced at it, and then threw it back to Liu Bianxiu.

Sun Kewang refused to accept the title of king, and Liu Bianxiu had no choice but to swallow his anger and return to Nanning to resume his life.

Liu Bianxiu returned to Nanning and learned that Sun Kewang had no court and asked for the king of Qin, and Zhu Youlang couldn't help but be furious.

"In response to the prince's dream, Sun Kewang is really a wolf's ambition, if he had adopted the prince's suggestion, how could I have suffered such a great humiliation."

After hearing this, the ministers felt embarrassed: "The prince's dream has appeared again, it is simply a prophet." ”

"Your Majesty, this matter has passed, no matter how much you regret it, it will be useless, in the future, the prince will trust his dreams, and it will all depend on the prince!" Li Guotai comforted Zhu Youlang and said.

"Your Majesty, what Eunuch Li said is true, now that Zhao'an has failed, let's think about what to do next!" University scholar Wen Anzhi said.

"Ahem, ahem, you are all ministers of the imperial court, and now the imperial court needs you, can you tell me what to do?" Zhu Youlang looked at the ministers and said.

At this time, everyone look at me, I look at you, no one can have any high opinions.

"Your Majesty, why don't you discuss it slowly, maybe the prince will come back in the evening!" Li Guotai walked to Zhu Youlang's side and said.

Zhu Youlang didn't say anything more, and waved his hand gently.

When the ministers heard the emperor's gesture, they withdrew one after another.

……

Night gradually came, and Zhu Youlang gradually got used to the desire for night. Because only at night, after he fell asleep, would he meet Zhu Cijiao in a dream.

The night gradually deepened, and Zhu Youlang gradually fell asleep. I don't know when, Zhu Youlang suddenly found a river in front of him.

The river water is clear, and the mountains are like a screen. A teenager rows a small boat fishing in the middle of the river.

Facing the sunset, the young man threw the fishing net in his hand towards the heart of the river. After a while, the young man picked up Jiang Xin's fishing net again and gradually closed the net.

Every time you collect a net, you have to bring a few live fish to the net.

As the sun went down, the boy finished his nets and rowed back.

When it got closer, Zhu Youlang found that the young man who was fishing was actually the prince Zhu Cijiao.

"You're it, huh? When did you learn to fish? Zhu Youlang asked happily.

"It's been a long time, Erchen has been fishing with his white-haired grandfather since he was a child." Zhu Cijiao said while rowing.

"Father, recruiting An Sun is hopeful, didn't succeed?" Zhu Youlang was most afraid that Zhu Cijiao would ask about it, but Zhu Ciyu still asked.

"Not only did it not succeed, but it also suffered such a great humiliation." Zhu Youlang only told the truth to the child.

"Actually, such a result is inevitable, recruit An, recruit strength, strength cannot control the other party, the other party will naturally not be subservient to you." Zhu Cijiao casually said his opinion.

"Son, what you say is true. If he had obeyed the prince in the first place, there would have been no such result. Zhu Youlang still admitted that he did not adopt Zhu Cijiao's suggestion in this matter.

"Then my father won't come to see his sons fishing today, right?" What Zhu Cijiao means is that since you don't believe me, why did you come to me to do something today?

"Of course not, my father is here today to discuss something important with my son?" Zhu Youlang, the old slippery head, pretended not to understand the off-string sound of Zhu Ci's words.

"Oh, what's the matter?" is effective and invalid, and the responsibility is fulfilled, and Zhu Cijiao does not need to worry about his father.

"The Southern Ming Dynasty is now going to have no soldiers, and there are no generals, what my father is most worried about is being wiped out by the Qing army, what is the emperor's good strategy?" Zhu Youlang raised such a brain-burning question.

"At present, there is no head-on confrontation with the enemy, only to adopt the technique of evasion, and the main task should be to protect the Southern Ming Dynasty and counterattack when the time is ripe." Zhu Cijiao briefly analyzed the current situation.

"How can we protect the Southern Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Youlang can't wait.

"Erchen thinks that protecting the court is actually protecting his father." Zhu Ciyi explained to his father layer by layer.

"Is there any good way to protect my father?" Zhu Youlang is still so anxious.

"To escort my father, the best way is to flee in advance, if my father believes in his son, I will entrust your dream to you in advance, and you have two divine maps that are useless."

Zhu Cijiao finally dedicated his good strategy to Zhu Youlang.

……

The sky was getting dark, and night covered the mountains. The river, along with Zhu Ci's fishing boat, gradually disappeared into the twilight.
