Two days later, Zhu Cixuan took the reluctant Tan Hong and the expectant Tan Yi, bid farewell to the regretful Tan Wen, and boarded the ship to the west. Yes, Zhu Cixuan still achieved his goal. He sent to inform
Wen Anzhi's people were very good at talking. Wen Anzhi immediately ordered Tan Wen to stay in Wanxian County on the grounds that "Wanxian County is connected to Chongqing on the top and connected to the Three Gorges on the bottom. It is located in a strategic location and controls the danger." Tan Wen had no choice but to let Tan Hong
He took his place and went to work for Zhu Cixuan.
Zhu Cixuan traveled all the way along the west side of the Yangtze River. This section of the river was now firmly controlled by the Ming army, so it was calm. But what he didn't expect was that what he said excitedly in Xingshan would cause a storm throughout the Ming Dynasty.
After all, Zhu Cixuan was a descendant of later generations, and he underestimated himself, or the influence that the Ming Dynasty royal family had accumulated among the people for more than two hundred years. Zhu Cixuan's remarks that "it is not guilty to invade the king, but it is meritorious to invade the camp" were deliberately spread by Li Laiheng and Liu Tichun.
Soon it spread along the river and spread throughout the Zhongzhen Camp. From the Zhongzhen Camp, it gradually spread and began to spread throughout the Ming Dynasty. Who is Zhu Cixuan? The prince of the Ming Dynasty and the future emperor. If he said that King Chuang was not guilty, it was basically equivalent to the Ming Dynasty.
The royal family gave up the power to hold the camp accountable, and gave up the deep hatred of Li Zicheng who forced Chongzhen to death. The Ming Dynasty valued the ancestral system the most. Since Zhu Cixuan said this, unless Yongli personally came out to refute it, the future emperors of the Ming Dynasty would not be able to overturn the verdict casually.
.This is equivalent to awarding a talisman to the Chuang camp. For a while, the Zhongzhen camp was rejoicing, but the rest of the Ming army had mixed emotions and indescribable feelings.
In Fengjie, Wen Anzhi, who had just been willing to be used as a weapon by Zhu Cixuan, was speechless for a long time after hearing what his subordinates said about imitating Zhu Cixuan.
"Go down." Wen Anzhi waved his hand with a complicated tone. He invited himself to be the governor of Fengjie. On the one hand, he wanted to expel the Tatars, and on the other hand, he also wanted to try to preserve the Zhongzhen Camp, a "criminal camp" that had persisted in resisting the Qing Dynasty for decades.
Yes, in the eyes of many scholars who cherish the Ming Dynasty, Zhongzhen camp is a crime camp. Wen Anzhi is a traditional Confucian scholar-bureaucrat, and he also deeply hates Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others. However, he is a corrupt Confucian who insists on following the past and knows that the Ming Dynasty has now arrived.
It was necessary to unite all the forces that could be united. Therefore, after he arrived at Fengjie, he treated all Ming armies equally and quickly won the trust and support of the Zhongzhen Camp. Over the next few years, he also liquidated the Zhongzhen Camp after the Ming Dynasty.
His thoughts have long since disappeared, and he has truly regarded Zhongzhenying as the pillar of the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, he also knows that there are many people in Kunming who are hostile to Zhongzhenying. He is over sixty years old, and he doesn’t know how long he can protect Zhongzhenying. Wait until he
After passing away, where will Zhongzhen Camp go?
At this moment, Zhu Cixuan's words made the old man have mixed feelings. "Emperor Lieutenant..." the old man murmured, unable to hold back the tears. "You hanged yourself in Meishan. Do you know that the Ming Dynasty is now in a state of turmoil? You are the chief culprit who forced you to die for the country.
The culprit has now become the mainstay supporting the Ming Dynasty; Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and others who once conquered all directions for you have now become the vanguard to destroy China."
"Emperor Lie, how should I handle myself? They are all tough men, and I really can't bear to let them suffer infamy throughout their lives. You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the father of hundreds of millions of Guizhou heads. You yourself have said,
Kou is my innocent son, so I should care for him. If you knew that the Zhongzhen camp would fight bloody battles for the Ming Dynasty, you would surely forgive them. Today, His Highness the Crown Prince is only in his prime years, and he is already running around for the survival of the Ming Dynasty.
He gave up your blood feud because he had to do so for the Ming Dynasty. You have a spirit in heaven, so don’t blame him. It’s all the ministers who are incompetent. If you want to punish, just punish the old minister..."
Wen Anzhi muttered and unfolded the memorial. Zhu Cixuan's words will definitely cause an uproar in Kunming. Zhu Cixuan was a bit reckless after all. As a veteran of the Tianqi years, he had to stand up and express his attitude at this moment and try his best to share the pressure for Zhu Cixuan. He has the words to say.
, many civil servants in Kunming would also wait and see, so as not to attack Zhu Cixuan in groups. Yongli was a soft-hearted person, and if he listened to the slanderous words of people around him, it would be a big trouble for Zhu Cixuan.
Guizhou, Kaili, where Liu Wenxiu's royal tent is located. Feng Shuangli has led his troops to Zhenyuan. Halabaersi's troops were camped near Kaili. Seeing the Ming army's large-scale deployment, they were so frightened that they abandoned the camp and fled. Although he had already gone to
Liu Wenxiu showed his sincerity, but he was still afraid that the Ming army would hunt down rabbits, so he also got rid of it. He had the foresight to get out of the way and found an uninhabited place to enclose the land for himself. Halabaersi had already
He made up his mind that if the Ming army won, his life and death would be in the hands of others. When the time came, he could only hope that Liu Wenxiu would keep his promise. If the Ming army was defeated, he would get some credit by fighting back. Liu Wenxiu was careful about him.
He knew it well and didn't bother to pay attention. He only arranged a team of sentries to keep an eye on him.
What Zhu Cixuan said in Xingshan has spread to Guizhou. Liu Wenxiu was not surprised after hearing this. He smiled lightly and allowed the soldiers to discuss. Zhu Cixuan had deep conversations with him many times and had already shown this attitude. Although Xiying was not forced to death
Chongzhen was the culprit, but Zhang Xianzhong once conquered Fengyang and dug up the ancestral graves of the old Zhu family. This dark history is also appropriate. Zhu Cixuan's rebellious and justified remarks are much more powerful than Yongli's simple amnesty. Amnesty,
He was still guilty, but he was not pursued. Liu Wenxiu pondered for a moment, and then started to write a memorial. The prince had good intentions towards Xiying and Zhongzhenying, and he could not let the civil servants in the court make remarks.
The generals of Xiying were also talking about it. Unlike Zhongzhenying, Xiying was the real pillar of the Yongli Dynasty. They did not bear the infamy of forcing Chongzhen to death. Their mentality was much calmer. But after all, they had been hostile to the Ming army for many years. Although they are now in the same palace,
Minister, some friction is inevitable. Zhu Cixuan left a good impression on them in Guiyang, and his remarks are also in line with their wishes. These rough guys have no awareness of the struggle between Han and thieves, and the struggle between civil and military affairs. The prince values them, so they will
They felt that the crown prince was good, and under Qi Sansheng's instigation, they all clamored to the court, begging Yongli to formally recognize Zhu Cixuan's remarks. Liu Wenxiu was busy with the war and failed to find out at the first time. When he knew, the generals' memorial had already been
After being sent to Kunming, Liu Wenxiu felt that something was wrong, but there was nothing he could do about it.
In Kunming, Yongli felt aggrieved again. The imperial court was filled with memorials, all of which were about Kunming officials impeaching the prince for ignoring Chongzhen's blood feud and showing no sense of filial piety. Yongli felt an unknown fire rushing straight to his head. At the same time,
There were still waves of grievances welling up in my heart. It was really uncomfortable for me to be the emperor. The Tatars bullied me, Sun Kewang bullied me, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were respectful on the surface, but Yongli knew that they only regarded him as a person who could unite people to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
It was just a flag, and now, his own son has come to bully him. This is not the first time!
"This treacherous son, you bastard!" Yong Li, who couldn't bear it, exploded, "How dare you talk about national affairs, a yellow-mouthed kid! He secretly colluded with the generals and bought people's hearts. Does he still have me as the emperor in his eyes? I will destroy him!"
Ma Jixiang, who hurried over with another pile of memorials in his arms, hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The prince is the foundation of the country, and he cannot be dismissed lightly..."
Yongli shouted impatiently: "I am the emperor, you old dog, are you here to teach me how to do things?!"
Ma Jixiang had no choice but to lower his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty, these are the memorials that have just been transferred to the cabinet from the General Affairs Department. They are from the King of Shu, the Marquis of Xianning, the Marquis of Ya'an, etc. I invite your Majesty to read them."
Yongli hummed: "What did they say again, is the war in Guizhou over? Well..." Yongli read the memorial and trembled. Veins popped up on his forehead, showing that he was extremely angry, but his tone calmed down.
, "I know, I'm keeping everything in mind, you can go down." There was no way to move, the King of Shu made it clear that he wanted to protect the prince, and Yongli had to give him face.
On the second and third days, there was an endless stream of memorials to impeach Zhu Cixuan, but Yongli seemed to have not received them, and there was no sign of it. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty had always been stubborn.
However, his career was even more prosperous. The civil servants seemed to be competing with Yong Li. They wrote impeachment memorials more diligently. Some censors who were not afraid of death began to directly attack Yong Li, attacking him for his incompetence in educating his son.
What's more, Wang Lizhi's old stories were uncovered, implying that the prince had long shown a cold-blooded side that ignored family ties. Yongli had indulged him many times, which allowed the prince to be unscrupulous and say such treasonous and disrespectful words without a king and a father. Yongli could not bear it again, but
It is not a new thing in the Ming Dynasty for civil servants to scold the emperor. Jiajing and Wanli were both scolded by civil servants. Yongli was not an iron-blooded emperor like Emperor Chengzu. He had no choice but to do anything to the civil servants and ordered to cut down the ceremonial guard of Prince Zhu Cixuan as punishment.
, hoping to put things to rest.
The civil servants were very happy. The emperor gave in. This was a staged victory. But what if we just reduced the ceremonial guard? Since the prince left Kunming, he has been fooling around with a group of warrior rebels all day long. Look, what has become of this?
That's it. It's time to invite the prince back to Kunming, and arrange for a few learned scholars to teach him well, so that he can behave like a prince of the country. Under the leadership of the great scholar Lei Yuelong, a group of civil servants continued their efforts, and memorials flew like snowflakes.
The Secretary of General Affairs demanded that the ancestral system be followed forever, and the Ming and Han thieves declared to the world that what Zhu Cixuan said could not represent the imperial court. He severely punished Wang Qilong, Yang Jing and other lucky villains, recalled Zhu Cixuan, and imprisoned him in Kunming to teach them well.
Now Yongli couldn't sit still. Forget it that these rotten scholars wanted to start a civil and military dispute. What did this "Ming Han thief" want to do? His cheap cousin had been dead for almost twenty years, and Li Zicheng, the culprit, had been dead for a long time.
Just die. Now that the past has passed like smoke, just smile and forget the grudges. The old accounts of the past are still being brought up. I wonder if I, the emperor, can only rely on the "thief" they call him? What's more,
A group of powerful generals in Xiying have made it clear that they support Zhu Cixuan. How can he still touch the prince casually? I've given you the steps to get off, so why don't you just follow the slope and get out of control?
Fortunately, when Yongli was at his wits' end, Wen Anzhi's memorial arrived. He recounted the Zhongzhen Battalion's achievements in resisting the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years, and guaranteed that Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun and others had already woken up and had no qualms with the imperial court. "... Emperor Lie is still
At that time, it was said that "the bandits are my own sons", but what happens now? The Zhongzhen Battalion is stationed in eastern Sichuan. It has incomplete soldiers and armor, and is severely lacking in equipment. With a broken and exhausted army, it can resist an enemy several times stronger, with no intention of avoiding the battle.
, Such a bloody and courageous journey should be a model for the Ming Dynasty. I think that what His Highness said is deeply appreciated by His Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to spread the edict to ensure the loyalty of the camp..."
Yongli was overjoyed and immediately approved Wen Anzhi's memorial. Wen Anzhi indeed had great prestige, and a large group of civil servants who had followed Lei Yuelong's enthusiasm gradually fell silent, which was regarded as acquiescing to Zhu Cixuan's words. Lei Yuelong was unwilling to do so.
, was called by Ma Jixiang to give him a good rub, and had to stop his activities, but he deeply hated Wen Anzhi in his heart. A moderate storm ended here.
"This stinky boy, I can't touch you anymore." Yong Li, who had appeased the ministers, couldn't help itching his teeth when he thought of Zhu Cixuan. After all, he was his own son, and he still had to wipe his ass. "That's all, you have to do it.
I'll leave it up to you to see what results you can achieve." This chapter has been completed!
