Hearing Tong Yangjia say this, Zhu Hongsan looked at Tong Ma and the others with interest and asked, "Mr. Tong tell me your reasons."

"Your Majesty, the Qing army in the north has arrived in Jiangxi and Fujian and is about to attack Guangdong. At this time, he is struggling with being the queen, which is completely internal friction. It is better not to establish the queen now, and it is not too late to establish the queen after His Majesty's Northern Expedition is successful!"

Tong Yangjia said this with great righteousness. Even Zhu Hongsan nodded repeatedly and said, "Mr. Tong is really a pillar of the country!" Several other prime ministers blushed, feeling that they were still worse than Tong Yangjia. The only people in the room were Ma Mingyuan's teeth were itchy. Only he knew what Tong Yangjia was thinking. Unexpectedly, he had come up with a great principle of serving the country and the people, gained face in front of the emperor, and gained benefits from him. But now there was no way. Ma Mingyuan asked Tong Yangjia to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and endured it.

After hearing Tong Yangjia's words, Zhu Hongsan stood up and walked a few steps and said, "I haven't slept well these days. I can see the queen's face as soon as I close my eyes. After all, I and the queen recognized me as a real childhood sweetheart, and I have no guesses. So I decided to follow Emperor Taizu Gao and not establish the queen. Cao Fang, let's announce the edict!"

Cao Fang took out an imperial edict in his arms. It turned out that Zhu Hongsan had already had an idea and had already written the imperial edict.

"The Emperor's system of Fengtian Chengyun said: Empress Ma, with me, was born in Wuchang County, Wuchang Prefecture. She was childhood sweethearts when she was young, and she was not guessed. Now that Empress Ma died, I was extremely sad and found that I was extremely similar to Emperor Gao of Taizu. I decided to follow Emperor Gao of Taizu and not establish an empress, and grant Empress Ma the Xiaokang Ci and Zhuang Yi Gonghui Wen Mu Duanjing Chongtian Yu Shengzhang, I admire this!"

Then Cao Fang took out an imperial edict and then recited: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's system said: Ma Ruyan Shu Gong An Chun, was named the Imperial Concubine, responsible for the management of the harem, I admire this!"

Unexpectedly, the emperor still appointed Ma Ruyan as the imperial concubine, which was one step away from the queen. Before the ministers could react, Cao Fang took out another imperial edict to read it.

"Fengtian Chengyun's emperor system says: Crown Prince Zhu Hai is twelve years old. I decided to establish the East Palace west of the palace as the crown prince. Now I appointed Chen Zizhuang as the crown prince's junior teacher, Ma Mingyuan as the crown prince's junior tutor, Zhu Hongyi as the crown prince's junior guru. At the same time, the second son Zhu Jiang is the King of Qin, the third son Zhu Huai is the King of Chu, the fourth son Zhu Yuan is the King of Yan, the fifth son Zhu Lang is the King of Yue, the sixth son Zhu Bo is the King of Jin, Zhu Hongyi is the Princess of Xiangyang, the eldest daughter Zhu Luo is the Princess of Changping, the second daughter Zhu Yu is the Princess of Yuyang, and the third daughter Zhu Xiang is the Princess of Changsha. I respect this!"

The ministers did not expect that Zhu Hongsan would make such a big deal today, and all his sons were crowned kings and all his daughters were crowned princesses. What incredible to everyone is that the third son Zhu Huai, the son of Dong Huan and the grandson of Tong Yangjia, was actually named King of Chu. You should know that King of Chu was a title before Zhu Hongsan. In ancient China, no one could do the official positions that the emperor had served as the emperor. For example, Li Shimin, he served as the Shangshu Ling, and later the Shangshu Ling would be called the Shangshu Pushe. Zhao Guangyi was the prefect of Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty. When he became the emperor, the prefect of Kaifeng would be vacant. The officials who would then manage Kaifeng Prefecture should be called Quanzhi Kaifeng Prefecture, which means temporary agency.

Today, the emperor's edict granted the King of Chu to his third son Zhu Huai, which made the ministers think a lot. Tong Yangjia didn't expect that Zhu Hongsan is so generous today. It seems that he was the one who laughed to the end today.

In fact, Zhu Hongsan did this to implement the wolf pack plan mentioned by Feng Ruoshu. His son could not become a greenhouse flower. There was only one big throne, and those who could be able to live in it. Even if the prince Zhu Hai performed in the future, Zhu Hongsan would replace him mercilessly, and these sons would become the spare tire of the prince. Of course, except for the prince, the other sons are still very young, and the youngest Zhu Bo is only six months old. However, Zhu Hongsan believes that with his hard work, he will definitely find a suitable heir to the empire.

This court meeting ended like this. On the surface, Ma Mingyuan was a big winner. Without the queen, the position of the prince was stable, and the prince had already settled in the East Palace. Ma Mingyuan also became the young tutor of the prince, which was very popular. But Ma Mingyuan knew that he was far from the biggest winner. This time his opposition to Ma Ruyan as the queen had caused a crack in the Ma family, and the eldest brother Ma Jiyuan would inevitably split up some of the Ma family forces to leave him. When Fu Wenlong was dispersed, he was proof of his cold words to him.

The big winner behind the scenes is Tong Yangjia. This old guy first got a prefect and a co-priest from him, and he won the emperor's praise at the court meeting. Unexpectedly, the emperor actually appointed Zhu Huai as King of Chu in the end. What does this mean? Does the emperor want to give himself a signal that the prince is incompetent and wants to change the prince?

The more Ma Mingyuan thought about it, the more he felt that the old master of Emperor Zhu Hongsan had political methods. Now Zhu Hongsan is completely different from the young man in Huguang before. He has no trace of youth. Various means of differentiation and disintegration are emerging one after another. He is already a qualified emperor.

Just when the matter of the queen was in a turmoil in Guangzhou, Zhang Jiayu, a southern prefecture in the north, had received an imperial edict from Zhu Hongsan, ordering himself to be the prefect of Nanxiong and prepare for the troops in Shaonan, so he could act cheaply. This order was too important. Ganzhou in Jiangxi was already in a hurry. Wan Ji, the Minister of War appointed by the Tang King, had already sent three letters and asked for reinforcements. However, without Zhu Hongsan's order, he would not dare to act rashly, even if he wanted to move, and those new army masters ignored him without the tiger talisman.

With the imperial edict of His Majesty, several ships of weapons and equipment were also brought together. Guangzhou is now expanding its army. I heard that Emperor Zhu Hongsan has recruited another 50,000 people and is stepping up training, so the weapons transported are mainly cold weapons, and the firearms are only enough to equip one regiment. But this is not bad. In addition to Ma Liang's regiment, the new army already has two regiments of 7,000 people, and three thousand cold weapons troops. Zhang Jiayu feels that he can compete with the Qing army.

After receiving the order from Zhu Hongsan, Zhang Jiayu ordered Ma Rufeng to be the newly formed new legion commander, and then led two new legions and the 3,000 cold weapon troops to Ganzhou for rescue.

Nanxiong is the southern gate of Guangdong, and Ganzhou is the starting point connecting Nanxiong Meiling Ancient Road, so Ganzhou has become the first line of defense to defend Nanxiong.

In June last year, Wan Ji, who was guarding Ganzhou, was appointed as the Minister of War by King Zhu Youjian of Tang. At the same time, the Qing troops had occupied Nanchang, Yuanzhou, Linjiang, Ji'an and other places in Jiangxi. After a month, Jianchang was occupied. Only Ganzhou in the whole Jiangxi was alone, and the troops in the city were also very weak. Li Yongmao, the governor of Nangan, ordered Deputy General Xu Bida to guard Taihe and fight against the Qing troops. After a few days of defeat, he retreated to Wan'an and fled to Ganzhou.

In August, the rebel general Bai Zhiren entered Wan'an, and the Jiangxi Governor Kuang Zhao was captured alive. At that time, the imperial edict of the King of Tang happened to be sent to Ganzhou, so Li Yongmao managed the military together with Yang Tinglin and Liu Guosheng. Soon the King of Tang summoned Li Yongmao back to serve as the Right Minister of the Ministry of War and asked Zhang Chaoyan to replace him. As soon as Li Yongmao took office, he promoted Wan Ji to the Right Minister of the Ministry of War and the Right Deputy Censor of Jiangxi, and the governor of Jiangxi, and led the army in Jiangxi and Huguang.

At this time, the Secretariat Zhang Tongchang led the reinforcements of the Yunnan troops to Jiangxi. After receiving the news, Nanjing had been lost, he retreated to Ji'an. Yang Tinglin left them to defend the city together and treated them with the etiquette of hospitality. Their generals Zhao Yinxuan and Hu Yiqing made many contributions, but Wan Ji was very strict with them, and the Yunnan generals gradually became unhappy. Zhang An, the confidant of Wan Ji, was one of the four camps of the Dong bandits between Tingzhou and Ganzhou. He was brave and good at fighting. After surrendering, he established the military achievements of regaining Fuzhou, and also surrendered the other three camps of Dong bandits. Yuan Ji believed that the new army could rely on and despise the Yunnan troops, so the Yunnan troops were dissatisfied.

However, Zhang An's soldiers were originally thieves. They lived in Ganzhou and were still raped and insulted women, robbed property, and sent them to reinforce Huxi. They were burned and killed and robbed everywhere they passed. At this time, the Qing army came to attack Ji'an, and other soldiers from all walks of life were unwilling to fight, and the new army was still in Huxi. Therefore, the troops in Ji'an City collapsed without fighting and the city was broken. Wan Ji retreated to Zaokou and sent a manifesto to Ganzhou to tell the crime of Yunnan troops abandoning the city and fleeing. Yunnan troops simply walked west.

In July, the Qing soldiers arrived at Zaokou, and Wan Ji was unable to defend, so they hid in Ganzhou City. The Qing soldiers took advantage of the victory and drove to the city of Ganzhou City.

Wan Ji has always been very talented and smart and diligent in doing things. After Ji'an fell, the soldiers stopped obeying the orders. He sat on the city wall in a dizzy way and said nothing to the generals and officials. The Qing army camps across the river were spread all over the foothills, and he said it was an empty camp. Some soldiers or people escaped from the Qing army camp. When the enemy was strong, Yuan Ji criticized them as spies and killed people. Jiangxi Governor Liu Yuansheng ordered a general named Zhang Cong to lead troops to reinforce Hudong. When the Ganzhou siege was urgent, Liu Yuansheng personally went out of the city to Xuedu to call Zhang Cong. Zhang Cong's troops crossed the river and advanced, and when they arrived in Meilin, they were ambushed and returned. When they arrived by the river, many people died in the river to fight for the boat. Liu Yuansheng was extremely angry. On the first day of May, he crossed the river and fought again. He led the way and encountered a large number of troops' counterattacks. He was caught and fled back.

The new army sent to Huxi before heard that Ji'an had fallen and returned to Yudu. Yang Tinglin personally invited them to come and fought with the Qing troops in Meilin. He failed again. Yang Tinglin evacuated the new army and went into the city to defend the city with Wan Ji. Since Liu Yuansheng was defeated, reinforcements from all over the country have not dared to fight.

When the King of Tang heard that Ganzhou had not yet been sent, he rewarded and comforted the officers and soldiers here. He named Ganzhou Zhongcheng Mansion and appointed Wan Ji as the Minister of War. Yang Wen recommended him as the Right Assistant Censor, and sent the Minister Guo Wei to support him. Guo Wei and the Censor Yao Qiyuan recruited soldiers along the way and recruited 8,000 people. Wang Qilong, the general of Wan Ji, led 4,000 troops, Zhao Yinxuan, the Yunnan aid general, Hu Yiqing led 3,000 troops, and Grand Secretary Su Guansheng also sent so many people. Ding Kuichu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, also sent 4,000 troops, and Yang Tinglin collected fugitive soldiers and obtained several thousand people. These troops went to Ganzhou one after another and set up a barracks outside the city. The generals wanted to fight, and Wan Ji asked to wait for the navy to attack together. At that time, the Secretariat Sheren came to Yi Er to recruit three thousand sand soldiers, Gong Yu, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, and Li Suiqiu, the head of the Ministry of War, recruited 4,000 naval soldiers, all stationed in Nan'an and did not dare to come.
