Chapter 153: The Peerless Twins of the Old Zhu Family
Thinking of this past event nine years ago, Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath.
I'm not wrong.
Yes, I'm right!
But how did you treat me?
I hunted Wala in the north for a year. What did Zhu Qiyu do during that time?
Don't listen or ask.
When his mother, the Empress Dowager Sun, and Empress Qian collected a large amount of gold and silver treasures for Wala in order to help me return from hunting in the north, Zhu Qiyu turned a blind eye. Empress Qian cried so hard that she lost her eyes and knelt down and disabled her legs. Zhu Qiyu never cared.
When Yang Shan and others wanted to welcome me back to China, Zhu Qiyu actually pretended to be deaf and dumb. Only when there was no way to avoid it, Zhu Qiyu sent Yang Shan to welcome me.
And there are only a few people!
What are the specifications?
I am an orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty. When I returned from Beishou, I was greeted by only a few envoys.
Who are you insulting?
What's more, when I return to my hometown and pass through the capital city, sometimes I even need to knock on the door myself.
What a shame!
That’s all.
But when I returned to Beijing, Zhu Qiyu was originally ordered in the face of danger. After the work was done, he did whatever he had to do, but the result was good. Did he mean to give up his position? Do you think I couldn't understand the meaning of his words?
If I had agreed at that time, I would not have survived the next day.
hypocritical.
Later, Zhu Jianshen was deposed and his own son was made the crown prince instead. This was an attempt to snatch the throne from my lineage.
Now...it's time for Zhu Qiyu to pay the price.
I sent my troops to Yongchun and captured Zhu Jianji. After he established a foothold in Fujian, and the orthodox old ministers in the world came back, I would just like Taizong, fight from the south to the north. When the time comes, Zhu Jianji will die, and Zhu Qiyu will die too!
Do you still dare to use me to worship your ancestors in the Ancestral Temple?
Do you still dare to let me enter the vegetable temple instead of the clan mausoleum?
Posthumous name Wu, temple name Bao?
I will repay you a hundredfold for the shame you have inflicted on me.
When I capture Zhu Jianji, I will make him live worse than a pig or a dog!
Zhu Qizhen gritted his teeth, and the resentment in his eyes was as deep as the mountains and the sea!
…
…
After Xie Wan left the magistrate's office, he said to Fan Biao who was waiting outside: "In these extraordinary times, you and I should not see each other often in front of others."
Fan Biao was elated when he heard the title Marquis.
However, Fan Biao knew that this title was just a temporary thought, so he didn't dare to think about it and said with a smile: "Xie Shaobao, I have official business."
Xie Wan hummed, "Master Hou, please tell me."
Fan Biao said: "The commander of the Tingzhou Guards, Cheng De, said that he had controlled the remnants of the King of Min. He was the person responsible for the connection between the King of Min and the chess pieces in the northern court. It is said that this person also knew some of His Highness the King of Min. industry."
This person is very important.
On the one hand, it would be a great achievement to find out what chess pieces Zhu Wenfu and Zhu Zunxi and his son left behind in the court.
On the other hand, the property of father and son Zhu Wenfu and Zhu Zunxi is a huge amount of property.
Everyone is jealous.
And this money, as long as it is handled properly, everyone can share the cake together.
This is how war money comes from.
Xie Wan's eyes lit up, "Go and have a look."
In Quanzhou Prefecture Prison, Xie Wan smelled the dark, humid and fishy turbid air, and felt a little uncomfortable. When he walked to a cell, Cheng De, the commander of Tingzhou Guard, was eating breakfast, and he was not uncomfortable at all.
In seizing power last night, the garrison of Quanzhou Prefecture was the main force, and this was thanks to Cheng De.
Seeing Xie Wanlai, he muttered, "You have a tough mouth and don't open your mouth."
A general, a rough man.
I didn't intend to salute.
Xie Wan didn't pay attention. He walked to the cell door and looked at the three people inside. One of them was the middle-aged man with a sword who Zhu Zunxi had asked to get in touch with the northern chess piece.
His name is Zheng Kai, he is very skilled, he can fight ten people with one person.
His grandfather was an Ouchi guard.
Zheng Kai's father has also been the old monk's personal guard for decades.
As a son inherits his father's legacy, Zheng Kai was Zhu Zunxi's bodyguard and confidant when he was young.
The other two people have similar identities, they are both descendants of Emperor Jianwen's imperial guard.
Xie Wan stood in front of the prison door with his hands behind his hands and said: "Zheng Kai, His Royal Highness the King of Fujian has passed away. There are some things that cannot be reversed by manpower. It's time to think about it for yourself. You can't live for others all your life."
Zheng Kai sat in the haystack, raised his head weakly, and spit blood at Xie Wan.
Xie Wan was silent for a while, "If I remember correctly, none of the three of you married and had children. If you die like this, how can you have the face to meet your ancestors? I don't expect you to tell the story lurking in the Beijing court."
All chess pieces, please tell me the distribution of His Highness the King of Fujian’s industry. As long as you tell me, I promise to spare your lives and share a piece of the pie among the three of you."
Just know what industries there are.
Instead of having all kinds of house deeds and land titles checked directly by the government, they can still manipulate them.
Fan Biao's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Cheng De had no expression on his face and continued to eat his breakfast.
Zheng Kai ignored him at all.
Xie Wan secretly had a headache. What he was most afraid of was this kind of person who refused to accept soft or hard advice. Unfortunately, you couldn't do anything about him.
He turned around and said to Cheng De: "I probably won't say anything for now. Don't be impatient. Wait slowly. One day you won't be able to stand it any longer. Let's imprison the three of them separately. If anyone wants to speak, kill the other two."
Yes, the extra share will be given to the person who speaks."
Zheng spoke harshly.
But not necessarily the other two.
So Xie Wan deliberately spoke loudly so that they could hear each other. Then they would become suspicious of each other and might not be able to bear the pressure anymore, so they would speak.
Chengde nodded, "Okay."
Xie Wan turned around and said, "I will go back and rest for a while. After noon, we will break up camp and besiege Yongchun. The two commanders will also recharge their batteries to achieve great military exploits."
Chengde hesitated, "Don't Quanzhou Prefecture have any troops left behind?"
Beware of Guangdong Dusi.
During the Fujian Rebellion, the reason why Guangdong Dusi, which is adjacent to Fujian, never came was because there were Japanese pirates in Guangdong. In addition, during the quelling of the Miao rebellion in Huguang in recent years, Guangdong Dusi sent a large number of troops there, resulting in considerable battle losses.
It is probably because of these reasons that the Beijing court did not transfer the Guangdong governor.
After all, it is enough to have the regimental camp and the twenty-six guards of the personal army.
In fact, if the prince had not wanted to go on a personal expedition, the Beijing court would probably not have transferred the regiments and camps. It would have been enough to simply assign the Henan Dusi, the Zhejiang Dusi, and the Guangdong Dusi.
Xie Wan hummed, "Of course, as commander, you will lead several thousand troops from Pinghai Guard to stay in Quanzhou Prefecture."
At this time, there is no need to be wary of Guangdong Dusi.
After Xie Wan left the prison, he ran around various military camps to learn about the situation of the army after seizing power last night. It was noon when he returned to the Quanzhou magistrate's office and found that all the officials had already arrived, waiting for Zhu Qizhen to issue an order for the imperial commander to march in person.
However, Fan Biao, who was standing outside the Yamen gate, looked embarrassed.
Xie Wan lowered her voice and asked, her face turned blue.
In order to curry favor with Zhu Qizhen, Lei Yan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, found a girl from a good family and sent him in. His majesty was so kind that he could not refuse, so he had to "reluctantly" accept it.
The little girl hasn't come out yet.
Xie Wan looked up to the sky and sighed.
I was wrong.
I shouldn't say that Zhu Zunxi is not as good as Zhu Qizhen.
