Chapter 284 I swear
Since moving to Kunming, Emperor Yongli immediately appreciated the achievements of Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and others, and ordered Li Dingguo to be the King of Jin, Liu Wenxiu as the King of Shu, Bai Wen selected as Gong Guo Duke, Shangli, the King of Guyuan, and the title of Duke of Baoguo, General Wang Ziqi as the Duke of Kui, He Jiuyi as the Marquis of Baokang, and the commander of the navy Li Bengao as Chongxin Bo. In addition, Sun Kewang's confidant guard in Kunming was also named Duke of Chunhua Bo.
In addition to being promoted to a general of the Daxi Army, Emperor Yongli also valued Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qian, who was originally a Ming minister. In addition to allowing him to report an emergency at any time, he also allowed him to take charge of the imperial guards who guarded the palace.
At the same time, Li Dingguo built an imperial palace for Emperor Yongli in Wuhua Mountain in Kunming. From An Long to Kunming's Grand Secretary Fu Gang, Lei Yuelong, Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel Zhang Zuochen, and Wang Jiao, the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Personnel Wang Jiao, and others formed the six ministries and nine ministers of the Kunming court. At the same time, the cabinet was also established. What is surprising is that the newly entered the Grand Secretary also had the powerful minister who had colluded with Sun Kewang before.
Ma Jixiang was born as a martial jinshi. In his early years, he followed Minglei to quell the rebellion of King Jingjiang and became the commander of Guangdong. In the year of Jiashen, Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, and Ma Jixiang was in Guangdong. In the first year of Hongguang, he was dismissed from office for his duties. Later, the Yongli court was established in Zhaoqing. He was appointed as the Minister of War and was responsible for guarding Zhaoqing. When Emperor Yongli fled to Guangxi, Ma Jixiang led people to protect him all the way, so he was deeply trusted by Yongli. However, since Emperor Yongli arrived at Anlong Mansion and was under house arrest by Sun Kewang, Ma Jixiang abandoned his old master and Sun Kewang to collude with him. He also joined him in the eunuch of the Sili area.
On the way to Kunming, Pang Tianshou was afraid that Li Dinggong would settle the score with him, and Yongli was also indifferent to him along the way. Pang Tianshou was afraid that he would be dragged out to behead his head when he arrived in Kunming, so he gritted his teeth and took poison to commit suicide. His nephew Pang Tianci escaped while the person was unprepared.
After Pang Tianshou's death, Li Dingguo asked his general Jin Tongwu to take care of Ma Jixiang, but Ma Jixiang was really smart. He actually begged for mercy and flattered Jin Tongwu, and kept saying good things about Li Dingguo in front of him, scolding Sun Kewang. In addition, Emperor Yongli was nostalgic for Ma Jixiang, so Li Dingguo let him go.
After the establishment of the Kunming Cabinet, Emperor Yongli appointed Ma Jixiang to the cabinet to do business. Li Dingguo did not object to this, but Ma Jixiang's entry into the cabinet attracted the swearing of those upright Yongli court officials.
However, no matter what, after moving to Kunming, the Yongli court finally had some atmosphere. In addition to the emperor no longer being controlled by others, the civil officials loyal to Yongli could finally operate the court.
In the past, all the affairs of the Yongli court were handled by the six ministries and nine pavilions set up by Sun Kewang, who was far away in Guiyang. Anlong Mansion was just an empty affair. Now the court can finally be no longer controlled by others, and a group of civil officials were proud. Some ministers even wrote letters to King Jin and King Shu to attack Sun Kewang, a "unofficial" pseudo-nation king.
This book did not receive any response from Emperor Yongli, nor did it receive any response from Li Dingguo. In terms of how to treat Sun Kewang, the king of Qin, Li Dingguo and Emperor Yongli, had the same attitude and did not want to fight with Sun Kewang. Therefore, Emperor Yongli sent Bai Wenxuan and Zhang Hu as envoys to Guiyang, hoping to persuade Sun Kewang to eliminate the barriers and reconcile.
Before leaving, Emperor Yongli summoned Bai Wenxuan and Zhang Hu, and each gave him a golden comb. He also reminded him: "When the two families go to Guiyang, please tell the King of Qin about my reconciliation. I hope that the King of Qin can take the presidency and country, and take the people of the world as a thought, and do not let the same family fight. If I can make a good relationship with the King of Qin, I will never let the two families down and restore the country in the future. The descendants of the two families can share the same woe with the Ming Dynasty for generations!"
Bai Wenxuan respected Emperor Yongli. He hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the emperor, I will definitely persuade the King of Qin to come to Kunming to meet the emperor after he arrived in Guiyang."
Zhang Hu on the side snorted secretly and said, "I went to Guiyang but turned what Your Majesty said to the King of Qin. I know if the King of Qin can be as His Majesty wishes, but I am not in control."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongli nodded slightly and raised his hand to signal the internal supervisor to send the two out. After Bai and Zhang and the others left, Yongli said to Queen Wang who walked out behind the screen: "Bai Wenxuan is loyal and kind, but Zhang Hu is a rebellious person. I'm afraid that he will have a bad thing after he goes to Guiyang."
Queen Wang was a little puzzled and said in confusion: "Since Your Majesty knows that Zhang Hu is not trustworthy, why did you let him go? Can't you send other ministers?"
"No."
Yongli shook his head, smiled bitterly, and explained to Queen Wang: "Zhang Hu is Sun Kewang's confidant. I appointed him as Chunhua Bo to show that I had no intention of calculating his past affairs, but instead believed more than him." He paused and said: "This time I sent someone to Guiyang, the King of Jin believed that others were not enough to convince Sun Kewang. Only when Zhang Hu left, Sun Kewang would believe that I did not annoy him, nor did I hate him."
Queen Wang felt deeply that King Li Dingguo of Jin was very kind to save the Lord, and believed more, and knew that he was loyal and righteous. Therefore, when he heard that Zhang Hu was chosen by Li Dingguo, he nodded and said, "I thought that if Sun Kewang could really serve the emperor with his duties, he would not care about who he would go there. If he was still ambitious, then it would be the same for anyone to send him. Since Zhang Hu was the candidate of King Jin, then the King of Jin must have his own plans, and the emperor did not have to worry too much... King Jin was good at fighting, and there were tens of thousands of Tiger soldiers under his command. Besides, Sun Kewang? He really dared to lead his troops to come, and he could only seek humiliation. After all, the justice and righteousness were on the side of the emperor."
"Only with the King of Jin, I am today. I also believe that he will help me restore my ancestors' ancestral land. But if Sun Kewang really wants to raise an army with me, I can only fight him to the end. Then everything depends on King of Jin."
Yongli sighed and stepped forward to hold Queen Wang's hand. Thinking of the suffering that Queen Wang had suffered over the years, looking at her increasingly thin body, her nose felt sore and said softly: "I have been sorry to the Queen over the years, and I have caused you to suffer a lot. I... I am ashamed of the emperor and my husband..." After saying that, my eyes were red.
Queen Wang also had tears in her eyes and said softly: "Why did the emperor say this? I don't feel bitter. As long as I can be with Your Majesty, I will feel happy even if I suffer great pain."
"It will get better in the future, and I swear that I will never let you live the day without any more with me!"
Emperor Yongli hugged Queen Wang affectionately, and the couple hugged each other tightly. At this moment, time seemed to have stopped. The couple felt that there was nothing else in the world, and they stood quietly here.
