"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the eldest prince Zhu Tong was crowned the king of Yue, the fief of Nanzhou in Guangzhou, and he went to Ningzhou within a month to become a vassal."

At the same time, Gangnam.

Zhu Tong also received the holy decree, looking at this holy decree, although his reaction was not as exaggerated as Zhu Tai, it was not much worse, and his face was full of astonishment.

Obviously, he didn't expect that he would be crowned king.

Although this was the usual practice, this time it was obviously different from the usual, but the end result was ......

He couldn't help but frown.

Kong Qiu on the side was no exception, with an inexplicable look on his face, his eyes flickering slightly, and he was suspicious.

said in his mouth: "It's really surprising that Lin Qingfeng actually issued a holy decree at this time, and it was also a holy decree ......."

Zhu Tong put away the holy decree, his face became a little solemn, he looked at Kong Qiu and asked, "What does Mr. think?" ”

Kong Qiu smiled and said, "What the hell, I have to ask His Highness." ”

Zhu Tong frowned.

In fact, he didn't really want to rebel in his heart, mainly because the gap in strength was too big, and when he was in the southwest, the anti-heaven operation of the great talent had already shocked him, and the foundation he laid in the southwest was almost wiped out.

That's right! He was sent to the southwest early in the morning, where he worked hard to maintain a good relationship with the major Tusi in the southwest, but unfortunately the situation in the southwest was too complicated, the Tusi were rampant, and King Ning's old subordinates were unclear with Zhu Kang.

He wants to lay a piece of land over there, and it is extremely difficult to develop his strength.

As a last resort, he could only cooperate with Jiang Hailiu, the governor of Guinan at that time, and cooperate with the major toasts, trafficking Tianzhu hemp, and maintaining relations with major forces while accumulating wealth, stabilizing his foothold and developing slowly.

also maintains a certain amount of cooperation with Zhu Kang, all in order to be able to strengthen himself.

Over the years, he has finally accumulated some strength.

However, with the arrival of the great talent, the entire southwest has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the strength he has worked hard to save has almost been swept away by the great talent.

The channel for trafficking Tianzhu hemp was ended, Jiang Hailiu was also killed, and all the major toasts in the southwest were collected by the great talents.

The soldiers on the battlefield in the southwest only know the prestige of the great talent, and the prestige he has built up with great difficulty is not worth mentioning at all in front of the great talent.

Forget about these, when Enke was in business, he also lost a lot of silver taels because of the test papers.

Those were all the gains he had obtained from trafficking Tianzhu hemp over the years, and all of them were emptied by the great talent at once.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has been operating in the southwest for so many years, and because of the arrival of the great talent, all of them have come to naught, and then the great talent was canonized as the king of the southwest, even more so.

He came to Jiangnan with the only soldiers he had, and it was already a fresh start.

But this place in the south of the Yangtze River is itself the base camp of great talents.

And the great talent is famous.

The first battle of the Xiongnu and the first battle of Tubo, the admiration of the entire Dali soldiers for the great talent has reached an unparalleled level, and in such a situation against Lin Qingfeng? To be honest, he really didn't want to, and he really didn't dare.

But he has no choice, many times his identity is already doomed, it's not that you can stop doing it if you don't want to, it depends on what the other party means.

And now, the other party's meaning has arrived, so he also hesitated.

However, he was still a little worried in his heart, and asked, "Sir, does this think this will be Lin Qingfeng's delaying tactic?" deliberately sit down, if the three princes don't jump out to oppose it at this time, it will be tantamount to acquiescence, and then jump out, and the so-called fake princes will become more and more untrustworthy. ”

This is actually what Zhu Tong is worried about.

Lin Qingfeng ascended the throne today, and he objected at this time, saying that he was pretending to be the prince, which was a little bit of a head.

If you don't say it today and talk about it later, it will be completely slanderous, and no one will believe it at all.

Of course, even at this moment, not many people believe in it.

Kong Qiu smiled and said, "Does Your Highness think Lin Qingfeng is that necessary?" ”

Zhu Tong thought about it, there is really no need for this, that is to say, Lin Qingfeng is willing to let them be a prince for the rest of his life? Will it settle accounts after the fall?

Kong Qiu obviously saw what he was thinking, and said: "The reason for excluding dissidents is because there is no absolute advantage, because there is a threat, and vice versa, ......"

He didn't say anything more, but the meaning was clear.

has an absolute advantage and does not pose a threat to oneself, so is there any need to exclude?

The words are a little hurtful, but they are facts, Lin Qingfeng does have this ability, and he is not afraid of the threats of the major princes at all.

Kong Qiu paused and said, "Actually, His Highness's choice is not difficult, because His Highness has a question that cannot be avoided. ”

Kong Qiu didn't say what this question was, but Zhu Tong knew very well that that was his origin.

His mother is from the people, and no one even knows who it is, he only entered the palace at the age of five, this origin is destined to be criticized by the Manchu Dynasty, although the origin of the great talent is more exaggerated than him, he is not a prince at all, but the two cannot be compared at all, not to mention that the great talent can create a dynasty with his own strength, which is the surface identity and is extremely noble.

It is the sister-in-law of the first emperor and empress, the first heir to the throne without dispute, although it is fake, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people do not think so, the first emperor recognized the identity of the great talent, announced the world, and did not deny this before his death, and it is meaningless for others to deny it again, and it will only be regarded as slander.

And he is different, his identity has decided a lot of things.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he and the eldest princess Zhu Tai defeat Lin Qingfeng, the possibility of him ascending to the throne is very small, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people will only support Zhu Tai and the sixth prince Zhu Xin, and no one will support him at all, and his best result is still just to be crowned king.

And now, Lin Qingfeng has been sealed.

So Kong Qiu said that his choice was not difficult, in fact, it was because of this.

Thinking of this, Zhu Tong suddenly showed a smile on his face, a smile of relief.

Kong Qiu looked at him with a smile and said, "Your Highness seems to have figured it out?" ”

Zhu Tong smiled bitterly, "What if you can't figure it out?" Is it useful to be unwilling? Compared with Zhu Tai's bastard, or the ambitious woman of the eldest princess, this prince would rather be on the throne Lin Qingfeng, at least, he can really make the dynasty better and better. ”

"As for what bloodline, this prince has never been recognized, and he still cares about this?"

"What's more, even my father didn't care, and passed the throne to him."

The corners of Kong Qiu's mouth hooked up with a smile.

Zhu Tong said again: "Give the order!" Preparing to go to Ningzhou, I don't know how Lin Qingfeng gave this fief to this prince. ”

Kong Qiu smiled and said: "Ningzhou is located in the middle of the south of the Yangtze River and the southwest, if Lin Qingfeng has great ambitions, this place will definitely not be bad in the future, but now is not the time to study the fiefdom, there is another matter." ”

Oh?

There was a hint of puzzlement in Zhu Tong's eyes.

Kong Qiu said: "Since His Highness has a choice, it should naturally be on the table." ”

Zhu Tong's eyes lit up slightly, and he instantly understood, since he had received the decree, he naturally wanted to be grateful, and the sooner the better, to get ahead of the others, he would undoubtedly be able to gain the favor of the new monarch even more.

Zhu Tong was not ambiguous, and immediately said: "Immediately take this prince ...... The name of this king is to the court, congratulations to the new monarch on the throne! ”
