As soon as Chongzhen's men and horses drove into Henan, the news spread far and wide, and soon spread to Jianghuai.

Nanjing Imperial Palace.

This is the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty, the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty are the southern capital and the northern capital, the capital and the imperial palace are basically the same size and style.

At that time, Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Emperor Yongle, moved the capital to Yanjing, the northern capital (Beijing in later generations), which was modeled on Nanjing, until the defeat of Chongzhen, after more than 200 years. The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies, as the most distinctive feature of the Ming Dynasty, has been passed down to later generations.

On the dragon chair of the Jinluan Palace, there is a fat emperor with a net weight of more than 300 catties, this is the Fu King Zhu Yousong, the first emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty - Emperor Hongguang.

At this time, his face was extremely pale......

This is Zhu Yousong's second ascension to the throne.

As Chongzhen said, Zhu Yousong's ascension to the throne and sitting in the palace was completely pushed up by Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying and others.

Two months ago, Li Zicheng's Dashun army entered Beijing, and King Fu escaped from the capital, fled to Weihui, Henan, and then fled to Huai'an, and then fled to a boat in the river with King Lu, King Zhou and other royal nobles, hugging beauty, drinking and having fun.

When Zhu Yousong was playing with women, he was found by Shi Kefa, the secretary of the military department who stayed in Nanjing, Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, and Lu Jiude, the eunuch who stayed in Fengyang, and got him to Nanjing and began to supervise the country.

Originally, he didn't want to do this prison country, but Shi Kefa said that the first emperor of Jiashen's change died, and the thieves troubled the capital, and the country could not be left without an owner for a day.

At this time, Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, brought a knife to the palace, and not only that, he took his son Jinyiwei to command Ma Luan, eyeing him fiercely, Zhu Yousong saw that if he agreed to sit on that chair, their father and son would turn their faces and do it.

After Zhu Yousong weighed the pros and cons, he had to agree to ascend the throne, but Zhu Yousong had conditions: it is no problem to let this king and the country ascend the throne, but you must have a big beauty pageant, as long as you are good-looking, whether it is *** or a young woman, although it is transported to the palace, wine and meat must be available every day, and the set of governing the country and the country will be handed over to you.

Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying obeyed the order in unison, and this time they followed their wishes.

They also saw that Zhu Yousong had grown fat, and he was not the emperor's material at all. If it weren't for the good birth of others, he would have been Chongzhen's cousin and a veritable Fu King, and he would not be worthy of sitting in this prince's chair.

When he was in Luoyang, Zhu Yousong's father, Lao Fuwang, was caught by Li Zicheng and thrown into the oil pot to cook.

Zhu Yousong jumped over the wall in fright, and after escaping from the tiger's mouth, he didn't want to avenge his father, destroy the thieves, serve the court, and win glory for their Ming royal family.

Inheriting his father's position as the blessed king, he still drinks Yin music all day long, and he can't leave women for a moment, and wine and beautiful women are his two major hobbies in life.

Now these people insist on making him the emperor, where will he be happy? When the emperor went to court with him, he accepted the worship of civil and military officials, delaying him to drink and play with women.

Of course, Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying were willing to accept Zhu Yousong's conditions for ascending the throne.

As long as you are willing to be the emperor, otherwise how can we become the Dragon Father?

Women have wine and meat, and they give you as much as they want. Leave the affairs of the government and the opposition to us!

The two sides reached a compromise, and Zhu Yousong ascended the throne.

However, from May 1 to mid-June, the Southern Ming Dynasty had only been running for more than a month, and the forces of the Donglin Party, the eunuch faction, and the warlords of the four towns had temporarily achieved a balance. But they have not yet found a feeling in their respective seats.

Bad news suddenly came from Beizhili: Emperor Chongzhen actually died and came back to life, drove to Shanhaiguan to defeat Dolgon, and drove away the thief Li Zicheng, and the capital was recovered.

How is this possible?

Ma Shiying would rather believe that it was a dream.

But his brother-in-law, Yue Qijie, the governor of Henan, soon shattered his dream, and sent his confidant Ai to send him a secret letter:

The emperor came back from the dead, drove the thieves from the Zhanshan Customs, and recovered the capital of the Ming Dynasty, all of these things are true, and now the holy car has arrived in the Kaizhou area of Henan.

The emperor brought 30,000 soldiers and horses, plus the men and horses of Li Yan and the Red Lady in Henan, a total of 50,000. The emperor is not just coming to Henan, he must be pointing at Jiangnan, you and Emperor Hongguang have to make a decision as soon as possible, and I will find a way to stay here for a few more days.

Ma Shiying's face changed greatly, and he immediately brought Ruan Dacheng, the right attendant of the military department, to discuss countermeasures.

Ruan Dacheng was an unscrupulous civil official, who came out of the Shandong Forestry Party, and later had a pair of Wei Zhongxian, who became the vanguard of the opposition to the Donglin Party, and after the fall of Wei Zhongxian, he was also implicated.

That Chongzhen didn't kill him, but dismissed his official and let him go home and pick up the child. But he can't write a play when he holds a child, and a group of literati on the Internet did not come back until Li Zicheng entered Beijing, and Ruan Dacheng did not come back.

However, Zhu Yousong ascended the throne in Nanjing, Ma Shiying became a world, and Ruan Dacheng once recommended Ma Shiying, and Ma Shiying immediately crowned Ruan Dacheng as the right attendant of the military department.

"Lord Governor, no matter whether that Chongzhen is dead or alive, since Zhu Yousong has registered, the Southern Ming Dynasty must still be in court."

"Lord Ruan's words are exactly what I want. But do you want to fight against Chongzhen openly?"

"Take one step at a time, Chongzhen is not going to Henan, but let the governor of Yue think of more ways in Henan, make more fuss about Chen Qianfu and Xu Dingguo, and give them a plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf."

Ma Shiying was overjoyed when she heard this.
