Make the best use of people's talents and make the best use of everything. This is what Zhu Yongxing thought. However, when he first showed his talents, he had to observe carefully and work diligently in the face of the constant gathering of civilian officials and military generals, as well as the civilians, merchants, and chieftains who came to serve.
Explore to discover talents and screen out incompetence.
Yicheng was promoted to Changshi. At that time, it was just because of the lack of talents and the need to win over the Zheng family. However, after this period of investigation, Zhu Yongxing found that this person could be promoted by Zheng Yanbei as the representative of the Zheng family.
There is something extraordinary about him. Although he is not good at military affairs, his ability can be said to be excellent in terms of correspondence, calculation and distribution, trivial matters, etc. Perhaps it is because Zhu Yongxing currently has too few capable talents, so he is trying his best to perform.
But the next thing happened that immediately made Zhu Yongxing's perception of Yicheng to a new level, and he had a unique vision for certain special talents.
Since it was already very late when Zhu Yongxing arrived in Tengchong yesterday and there was nothing important to deal with, Yicheng was very considerate and allowed him to have a good rest. It was not until the next day that he brought some documents to Zhu Yongxing for review and approval, and waited until they were all processed.
, Yicheng took out another book-like thing and put it respectfully on Zhu Yongxing's case.
"Your Highness, there is still something you need to decide." Yi Cheng pointed to the book on the table and said: "The day before yesterday, a man named Zha Rulong came who claimed to be an old minister of Hongguang Shi. He asked to see His Highness, saying that he had plans to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
Offer..."
Zha Rulong? Zhu Yongxing felt that he sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember what this person had done in history. He nodded and motioned for Yi Cheng to continue, then reached for the book and flipped through it casually.
"This was found from Zha Rulong. After seeing it, the official was surprised and wanted to get the details from his mouth." Yicheng continued: "But this person only said that he would not elaborate until he met with His Highness.
He was very stubborn. The subordinates did not dare to be expert, so they put him under house arrest until His Highness came back to deal with him. If this person is really loyal and wise, and possesses this special ability, he may be of great use in the future."
Zhu Yongxing looked through the book a little casually at first, but his expression soon became serious. After thinking for a long time, he patted the table and finally remembered what Zha Rulong had done in history.
Zha Rulong was indeed an official in a certain department of the Hongguang regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty. He later wandered around the world, taking the fight against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty as his ambition, and was active everywhere. By the early years of Kangxi, he forged letters from governors, governors, and admirals of various provinces across the country, and his official titles,
The seals, monograms, and seals were very realistic and difficult to see through. Among the forged letters, most of them contained the content of "contact us, work together to take action, and restore the Central Plains." He compiled these forged letters into a book and carried them with him.
, it is something similar to a book that Zhu Yongxing was looking through. Of course, it is not complete yet.
The reason why Zha Rulong has been recorded in history is not because of his great fraud, but because he single-handedly created the incident of "writing a blood letter" to Wu Sangui. Zhu Yongxing can't remember the specific time. It seems to be the year after tomorrow.
things around.
This Zha Rulong ran to Kunming with a book of forged letters, bit off his index finger, and wrote a letter in blood to Sangui, to the effect of: "...the governor of the world, Ti Zhen, and the ministers in the court all have the same heart and treat the king as an alliance."
(King Wu defeated Zhou and gathered eight hundred princes at Mengjin Ferry in Henan Province). Your Majesty, you are a Han Chinese. What happened back then (referring to Wu's surrender to the Qing Dynasty) was out of necessity. Today, the opportunity of the world is in the king's hands. If the king
Send troops to the Central Plains, and the world responds. This is an eternal achievement..."
Zha Rulong wrote a letter in blood and entrusted a servant to deliver it to Prince Sangui's Mansion. He tried to let people know about the letter and put pressure on the three ghosts, forcing him to follow suit. When the servant arrived in Kunming, he had no way to enter.
After returning to the palace, he returned to the temple and returned the letter to Zha Rulong.
After failing to submit the letter, Zha Rulong later went to Qujing Mansion, but accidentally committed a crime and was captured by the prefect Li Zuzu. All forged letters and blood letters written to Sangui were found. Li Zuzu and Sangui
Discord was very happy to get this physical evidence. However, when he saw that officials from various provinces were implicated in his manuscripts, and no one was missing, they were all burned, leaving only a blood letter, which was reported to the governor and sent to the court.
In order to avoid the suspicion of the Qing court, the three ghosts ordered people to escort Zha Rulong to Beijing. Before leaving, Zha Rulong shouted: "If I die, the day will not be far when you will destroy the nine tribes!" When they arrived in Beijing, they were taken to the capital by the Qing court.
The heinous crime of rebellion is punishable by death.
He is naive, pedantic, and has no other options. He seeks medical treatment in a hurry, and will not let go of any life-saving straw that seems promising. Who is Wu Sangui? He is a hardcore traitor. Trying to win over him is simply a daydream.
Although Zhu Yongxing has this view of Zha Rulong, he also admires them in his heart. These righteous and loyal ministers who are dedicated to reviving the Ming Dynasty are more powerful than those who are greedy for life and fear death and the so-called remnants who have escaped into Buddhism and hidden in the mountains.
He is much nobler and should be respected by future generations.
"I met this Zha Rulong in the evening." Zhu Yongxing gently closed the book of fake letters and said, "What Chang Shi said is true. This is a talent that may be of great use in the future." Zhu Yongxing naturally wants such a special talent.
Keep it, it will be very useful when you use it for conspiracy in the future.
"Your Highness is wise." Yi Cheng complimented him smoothly, and then carefully reminded: "It's just that we still need to find out the details of Zha Rulong before we can use it to great effect."
Zhu Yongxing nodded, expressing his understanding of Yicheng's caution. His thinking has changed a lot, and he knows that he cannot rely solely on records and evaluations in history books to identify loyalties and traitors, and to use talents. Now his subordinates have become as good as generals.
Yun, what maintains loyalty can only be hope and victory, not old impressions and empty words.
"Your Highness -" Yicheng hesitated for a moment, and waited until Zhu Yongxing looked up at him in confusion before he said hesitantly: "I heard that His Highness promised that after winning this battle, all the generals would be rewarded, and the Crown Prince of Shu would even take the throne.
King, is this reward too heavy? What should I do if I make great achievements again in the future..."
I understand, Yicheng still has the inherent feudal mentality, and he must leave room for rewards to avoid being rewarded in the end. But there is no need to worry about this issue now, and Zhu Yongxing seems to have nothing that can convince the public except for his empty title.
A reward that will satisfy and feel uplifting.
Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment and said: "When the rebellious Sun Kewang first surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he had about 100,000 troops and a territory in Yunnan Province, but it was extremely difficult to get a king. Later, Sun Kewang was defeated and lost power, and he only brought
More than a hundred officers and soldiers surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but the Qing emperor immediately sent people to Hunan to confer him the title of Righteous King. When this building is about to collapse, how can we begrudge the loyal ministers and good generals the reward of the duke? If it is said that in the future, gold and silver,
Land, houses, beauties...aren't these rewards?"
Yicheng opened his mouth and whispered: "Your Highness is wise, but what I said is wrong..."
