Finally succeeded in persuading Chongzhen to retreat!

Zhu Cijiong knew that he had succeeded. Although Chongzhen would not abdicate immediately. He would not retire until he was 60 years old, which was still more than four years from now. But Zhu Cijiong knew that in order for his favorite grandson, the rich king, to succeed smoothly, he also

You have to step back first.

Because only if he takes the lead in abdicating the throne at the age of 60 can the "emperor's retirement system" be turned into a new ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty. Then when Zhu Cixiang reaches the age of 60, he will have to abdicate to make way for talents... If Chongzhen and

If Zhu Cixiang could live to be 60 years old.

It is said that the job of the emperor is so difficult. Not only do you have to take care of everything every day, you also have to fight for thieves in battle, and you have to spend your energy at night for the future of the country. You really don’t have a moment of rest. Such hard work, you have to work until you are 60 years old.

It’s not easy... How many emperors have lived over 60 years old in history? It has been almost 300 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. There are only three emperors who have lived over 60 years old, namely Ming Taizu, Ming Chengzu and Ming Shizong.

And Chongzhen looks very promising to become the fourth Ming Dynasty emperor who is over 60 years old... and Zhu Cixiang originally had a good chance of living over 60 years old, but it is hard to say now. Because when Zhu Cijiong ran away happily

When I was about to tell my brother the good news, I received a shocking piece of bad news from Queen Yi'an Zhang and Queen Zhou. Zhu Cixiang was seriously ill and could not get up!

"What? Falling ill? What should I do..." After Zhu Cijiong heard the news, he looked at his mother Zhou Hou and aunt Zhang Hou in surprise, thinking: The boss is destined to

Isn’t it too bitter? I just had the hope of becoming emperor in five years, and now I am sick and can’t get up? Isn’t it going to die like this? He is really in despair. Who will be the crown prince of Ming Dynasty? I, the rich man, should be the one

I am the eldest son... and I have experience in being an emperor. Is it my turn to be the emperor?

Just as he was thinking about something good, he suddenly saw that the two old ladies Zhou Hou and Zhang Hou didn't have much sadness on their faces, and there were no tears in the corners of their eyes. They didn't look like their sons were about to die!

Could it be that the boss is afraid that the old man is poisonous and wants to escape by pretending to be sick?

Thinking of this, Zhu Cijiong immediately said to the two old ladies: "Mother, aunt, I know a little bit about medicine, can you let me go and see my elder brother?"

have a look?

Hou Zhou and Hou Zhang looked at each other and nodded. Hou Zhou said: "Third brother, you have to give your brother a good look...he is your biological brother!"

"Yes, the Emperor," Empress Zhang added, "my nephew has been working day and night to raise money for you brothers over the years, and he has become sick from overwork!"

Zhu Cijiong patted his chest and promised: "I know, I will take care of it."

...

Of course Zhu Cixiang was pretending to be sick!

He is afraid!

He is not the Ming Dynasty hero in his previous life. He has not experienced many dangers in this life. Although his financial career has taken off rapidly, he has also set up many industries in Shanghai, Yangzhou, Nanjing, Wuchang and other places, and also opened a Pacific Shipping Company.

.But those things are something he is very familiar with, and with the power of his great nephew who dominates the Southeast, starting a business is not that difficult at all.

But now he may have offended a Chongzhen who doesn't know where his soul comes from...so it feels bad to come out of Chongzhen.

Since things are not going well, of course I need help to get out!

He had no foundation at all in Beijing, and it would be too easy for Chongzhen to get rid of him. And he had been operating in Shanghai for many years, and he still had a certain amount of force - his Pacific Shipping Company was actually a navy, employing a large number of navy veterans.

Dutch consultants were also invited to conduct training, and the ships equipped were all armed merchant ships and warships with naval guns. Although the strength is not as good as that of the Dongyang Fleet, the Dongyang Fleet has always been under the control of the Zheng brothers and their sons and will not stop it.

If Zhu Cihong runs away, he may even follow Zhu Cixiang!

The target of Zhu Cixiang's escape has been set a long time ago. Of course, it is Xinzhou Town on the other side of the Pacific Ocean (the area under the jurisdiction of the New World General Army). Because the Ming Dynasty's territory in the New World was developed under the auspices of Zhu Cixiang, and he had already said that

After that, they were given the title of concubines of Zhu Cihong, so the commander-in-chief, deputy generals, and soldiers of Xinzhou Town were all Zhu Cihong's people.

Now the commander-in-chief of Xinzhou Town is Wu Sangui, the deputy general is Zheng Cai, and the army officer is Chen Yonghua. Basically, they are all members of Zhu Cixiang's faction.

Therefore, as long as Zhu Cixiang can escape to the New World, he can still create a new situation... and he has already thought about it. If he really wants to escape to the New World, then he will not be an emperor. An emperor is too backward.

He wants to build a new Republic of China on the soil of the New World!

This country will not have the title of prince, will not follow the rules of the world, and will use public weapons for public comment, creating an unprecedented situation in ancient and modern times!

It's a good idea, but first we have to sneak out of Beijing!

So Zhu Cixiang immediately asked Empress Zhou and Empress Zhang for help - Zhu Cixiang was a filial son! He paid hundreds of thousands of filial piety to them every year.

At this critical moment, of course the two of them have to help the most filial son of the Ming Dynasty.

When the first filial son of the Ming Dynasty was lying on the bed with his head covered and sighing, Zhu Cijiong's voice suddenly came to his ears: "Brother, eldest brother, you have to hold on...you have to pay me two or three dollars a year."

The interest of one million yuan! If you lose it, my losses will be huge!"

When Zhu Cixiang heard this, he didn't react at first. He thought to himself: You still want me to help pay the interest? That is the condition for the old man to abdicate...

Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang suddenly opened the bed, sat up, and stared at Zhu Cijiong with a smile on his face.

"Third, third brother, what did you say?"

"The old man promised to give up his throne to you after his 60th birthday!" Zhu Cijiong said with a smile, "You don't have to pretend to be sick."

"This, is this true?" Zhu Cixi couldn't believe his ears.

"Really," Zhu Cijiong said with a smile, "but he has conditions."

"Conditions? How much does it cost?"

Zhu Cijiong shook his head, "Don't mention money... The old man didn't mention money at all. What he wants is to sit in Beijing with the power of the Supreme Emperor and govern Zhili, Yanning, Xuanda, Liaodong, Liaoxi, Liaonan, Liaobei, etc.

In charge of military affairs, he is also responsible for the military affairs in front of the account, in front of the palace, Zhili, Xuanda, Yanning, Liaozhen and other military affairs.

In addition, the King of Yan will be granted the title of Crown Prince, and the Fu army will be under direct control, while Beijing will be left behind."

"Okay, okay, I will listen to dad!" Zhu Cixiang nodded repeatedly.

Now the total strength of the armies in front of the tent is 500,000. Zhu Youjian only took six of them, about 250,000, and left the other six for Zhu Cihong, which was okay.

"There's more!" Zhu Cijiong said with a smile, "Boss, my father has said that if he retires at the age of 60, you will have to retire at the age of 60 in the future, and let King Yan take over... This must be agreed upon first.

If you don't, you still have to issue an edict to the world."

"Should I retire too? Do I need to issue an edict to the world?" Zhu Cihong said to himself: I haven't become emperor yet, how come I have set a date for my abdication?

"Yes! That's what dad meant!" Zhu San nodded.

"Then why should I step back?" Zhu Cixiang asked.

"Of course you will be the emperor!" Zhu Cijiong said, "When the time comes, you will be the emperor in Nanjing and teach the new prince at the same time. King Yan will ascend the throne in Beijing and become the emperor...The capital of Ming Dynasty will be moved back to Beijing at the same time. Wait in the future

King Yan retreated, King Yan's son ascended the throne in Nanjing, and King Yan took control in Beijing.

In short, in the future Ming Dynasty, there will be two, three, or maybe four lords in this country, divided into two capitals: north and south. Those who control Beijing will control the world's best soldiers, while those who control Nanjing will control the world's wealth. What do you think?"

Okay, this is not a country with two emperors, but a situation where there may be at most two emperors, one emperor, and one Fujun prince, with a total of four emperors co-ruling. Is this still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty? This is a bit like the emperor of Rome.

What do you mean? Does this mean that the four emperors will rule together?

"Promise, of course I agree!" Zhu Cixiang was not very happy in his heart, but he still agreed.
Chapter completed!
