Chapter 138 Clothes are not changed before death, name and surname are left empty posthumously
Fujian, Changle, Zheng Junying, Gan Hui has been waiting for four days.?
Within four days, Zheng Sen was in a coma, which made Gan Hui even more worried.
Gan Hui was also half-doubted about the affairs of the prince Zheng Jing having an affair with the wet nurse at first. It was not until Huang Zhao, Xiao Gongchen and others confirmed the incident that he finally believed that His Highness had done something contrary to human relations.
"The vassal lord was not furious at first. After receiving the letter from Shangshu Tang, he was so angry that he wanted the Marquis of Jianping to execute the mistress, prince and eldest grandson."
Xiao Gongchen was originally the general of Zheng Hongkui, the Duke of Dingguo, and he always had good things with Gan Hui. Huang Zhao was able to escape from Jinxia to the military report, so Xiao Gongchen secretly helped him. Afterwards, Zheng Jing sent troops to capture Xiao Gongchen, but he escaped from Jinxia one step ahead of time and survived. Xiao Gongchen briefly told Gan Hui about the cause and effect of the matter, and Gan Hui could only sigh after hearing this. After all, this matter was the family affairs of the vassal lord. Although he was now under the command of the King of Qi, he was not easy to talk too much about the family affairs of the old lord.
"Yu Xin is sorry for the vassal lord at the Nandu City, but he fought with the Tartars in Jiangbei and died heroically. He is worthy of the vassal lord and the soldiers who fell under the Nandu City."
"After hearing the news of Yu Xin's death, the vassal lord was also very sad and locked himself in the house for a whole day."
Xiao Gongchen felt uncomfortable when he mentioned Yu Xin who died in battle.
"The purpose of my visit this time is that the emperor heard that the vassal lord was sick, so he specially sent me to express his condolences; the second is that the King of Qi wants to meet with the vassal lord."
"How can the vassal lord meet with the King of Qi now?" Xiao Gongchen smiled bitterly, and there were no outsiders here, so he said bluntly to Gan Hui: "I'm afraid the vassal lord will be in the future."
Gan Hui was silent. Although he had not seen the vassal lord these days, he had already inquired about the vassal lord's condition. The vassal lord was indeed very ill, not circulating outside the world, but was under house arrest by his brother Zheng Xi.
"When the vassal lord woke up last time, he had his last words to inherit the throne and take charge of the military and political affairs of Jinxia."
"I'm afraid the prince won't agree."
"It is inevitable that you will fight with each other." Xiao Gongchen sighed, "Your Highness the Crown Prince did such a thing that was contrary to human relations, and cut off the army's food and supplies, which made the vassal lord critically ill. How could the soldiers submit to him?"
"What do they mean?"
Gan Hui did not ask Xiao Gongchen whether he supported Prince Xi or Prince, because Xiao Gongchen's appearance in the military camp of the vassal lords had explained everything. He was concerned about the positions and attitudes of generals such as Zheng Xi and Huang Zhao, Liu Guoxuan, and Wu Hao.
Xiao Gongchen glanced at Gan Hui: "The main opinion here is that the prince is contrary to human relations and cannot bear to be the master."
Gan Hui nodded and said, "Young Master Xi has no prestige, so it is difficult to command the army. Furthermore, if Marquis Jianping stands on the side of the prince, if both sides start to fight, You may not be able to gain the upper hand."
"Young Master Xi is very listening to Huang Zhao's words now, and Huang Zhao is determined not to be the crown prince anymore." Speaking of this, Xiao Gongnai suddenly stopped and then asked Gan Hui: "What does the Nandu mean?"
Gan Hui thought carefully: "The court obviously will not interfere in the family affairs of the vassal lord."
Xiao Gongchen shook his head: "Brother Gan, don't be careless with me, you understand what I meant."
Gan Hui was silent for a moment and said, "The King of Qi wanted to meet the vassal lord. In my opinion, it was probably for Jin Xia. Unfortunately, this matter is difficult. The vassal lords are like this, so how can we meet?" After saying that, Gan Hui said, "But I think the King of Qi should not be able to treat Jin Xia."
"The four troops of King Qi traveled to Fuzhou. Once Dasu died, Jinxia's affairs were probably not something we wanted or didn't want."
Xiao Gongchen could see clearly that as long as the Taiping Army seized Fuzhou and solved Dasu, the Zheng family, as an independent army in Fujian, must face the reality of whether they obey the Dingwu court's recruitment or be pacified by the Taiping Army.
Gan Hui really couldn't say whether the King of Qi would launch troops against Jin Xia. What he could be sure of was that the Taiping Army really took action. As a former former general of Yanping, Gan Hui would never lead the army to swing his sword at his former comrades.
"How to solve this matter depends on who can distinguish between Mr. Xi and the prince. If Mr. Xi successfully inherited the throne, there should be no problem with Jin Xia entering the court. But if His Highness the prince wins, this matter will probably cause more twists and turns. After all, Mr. Jianping and the others have their surname Zheng."
Xiao Gongchen's words were vague and not vague, and Gan Hui could not understand what he meant. Since the rise of the Zheng family on the sea, he has always been listening to Xuan and not listening to the orders for nearly thirty years. Since being under Zheng Zhilong, who was under house arrest in Beijing by the Qing court, the Zheng family has never given up their own interests and entered the court to be a peaceful man.
"Let's take a step by step. After all, the vassal lord is still there, and there is still room for recovery for this matter."
Gan Hui was not confident enough. He really didn't know how many days the vassal lord could live. As the two were talking, Huang Zhao's personal soldiers came to report that the vassal lord had woken up.
Zheng Sen woke up, much more sober than when he woke up last time, which made Zheng Xi, who had been serving his brother at the bedside, very happy. However, before Zheng Xi had time to tell his brother about his life these days, his brother asked him to open a box he had always brought with him. Most of the things he had done in the death of the Ming Dynasty's lonely ministers for more than ten years, and some deeds about these lonely ministers in the Ming Dynasty.
Zheng Xi didn't know who his brother wanted him to take the poem, and he was holding a bunch of poems there.
"The Song of Haoqi."
Zheng Sen's voice was not loud, and he was in a coma for several days and only fed the broth into his stomach, so he was naturally in poor spirits.
Zheng Xi hurriedly searched through the poem and found Qu Shisi's "Song of Haoqi".
"Remember." Zheng Sen's index finger moved slightly with his left hand.
"Yes, brother."
Zheng Xi hurriedly started to recite softly:
"Sleeping with grass and pillowing on the soil, the night is longer and quiet like the year.
Su Qing only misses the Han Dynasty when he believes in the country and only tells the heavens.
Nine deaths are like a waste of time to cherish suffering, and there are stones in three lives that only follow the fate.
The remaining lamp is filled with demons, and I would rather know the lonely minister and dream of being calm."
After reciting, Zheng Xi heard his brother whisper, "How did Mr. Qu die?"
Zheng Xi was stunned. Didn’t the eldest brother know how Qu Shixi died? Why did he ask? But he didn’t dare to show any doubts. He said: “In the tenth year of Yongli, the Qing army arrived in Guilin. Qu Gong was in a mansion. General Qi Liangxun arrived in two cavalry and knelt down and asked, ‘Young is the elder, the country is in danger. You can still call on the honors to recover after being restored.’ The emperor said: ‘What is the meaning of being tolerant of death for four years? I am a minister and cannot defend the enemy, so how can I see the emperor? Will I send the honors to dispatch the honors? Whoever does not die? I hope to die clearly.’ The family advised him that the second emperor was coming from Changshu and arrived in one or two days, so that he could bear it for a while so that the father and son could meet. But he said that I was a stay-at-home, and I did not guard this place well. I am sorry for the country, so why should I care about my children?”
While talking about Qu Shisi's deeds back then, Zheng Xi paid attention to his elder brother's expression. He had an unknown premonition, as if the elder brother would never wake up again after waking up this time.
"Kong Youde killed Zhang Tongchang and Qu Gong, and the two men died without a servant. They fell to the ground and jumped to the former three. In an instant, the thunder and lightning were loudly and snowflakes were like palms. There were also three people who were shocked in the air. Youde shook his chest, and everyone who watched them cried."
When Huang Zhao came in, he happened to hear Zheng Xi talking about what happened after Qu Shisi and Zhang Tongchang's death. He was also confused, but the vassal lord was lying there and listening intently, and did not dare to disturb him. He walked to the side lightly. Liu Yongxuan, Xiao Gongchen, Gan Hui and others arrived later, and no one dared to alarm the vassal lord. Wu Hao, the front army and the back town, took the doctor outside and asked the vassal lord if the condition improved when he woke up this time. Before the vassal lord had time to take the pulse for the vassal lord, he couldn't say anything for a while.
After talking about the past, Zheng Xi saw that his elder brother was just staring at him, and without saying a word, he was at a loss for a moment. The generals were also confused.
After a long time, Zheng Sen suddenly sighed lightly, and then recited: "Don't laugh at me for dying easily, and my history is left with a fragrant name. I don't change my clothes and clothes before my life, and my name is left with a poem after my death." Because I was too weak, Zheng Sen's poem was recited intermittently, and some of the words were unclear. However, Huang Zhao and the others heard that the first two lines of this poem were written by Qu Shishi before his execution, and the last two lines were the response of his student Zhang Tongchang. Together, it was a desperate poem.
Why did the vassal lord mention Qu Shisi and Zhang Tongchang and still recite their desperate poems?
