Chapter four hundred and eighty first marriage
Yongli's laughter echoed in the hall for a long time. Xingping, Guangdong, said that tens of thousands of troops were protecting him as the emperor. Sun Kewang was also called hundreds of thousands of troops to protect him as the emperor, but what was the result?
At that time, Kewang asked him to be given the title of King Qin, and all the civil and military officials in the city were all shouting, and none of them opposed this matter. Chen Bangfu and others even forged the golden seal and enthronement from him, and finally made him pinch his nose and admit it. Xingping once asked him for an official position on the same day. Today, a grand scholar of the court asked him to be given the title of King, and sent an envoy to kill the "traitor", threatening that tens of thousands of troops would protect him and the court. This scene seemed familiar.
After laughing, Yongli was arbitrary and said to his ministers: "The tens of thousands of troops of King Jin are still there, the court is still there, and the military and civilians of Yunnan are still there, how can I go to Guangzhou? When it is absolutely necessary, I will learn from Emperor Xiaolie to sacrifice my country." This is for both the court officials and the Guangdong envoy to report the victory.
The emperor suddenly spoke like this, and he spoke in a very tragic way, which was very contrasted with the emperor known to the ministers. In their eyes, the emperor abandoned his wife and children if there was any disturbance, and left behind countless civil and military officials who followed him, regardless of the country, the safety of the court, and only cared about his own life. Now, the emperor said that when he was in a critical moment, he learned from the late emperor Chongzhen to die for his country. The contrast was so great that all the civil and military officials in the palace were surprised.
King Li Dingguo of Jin was also shocked. Just when he was shocked, Yongli suddenly came to him and said to him: "My intention has been decided. King Jin can use Huang Yue to go on the battle on my behalf. King Gongchang Bai Wenxuan, King Qingyang Feng Shuangli, King Hanyang Ma Jinzhong, King Huai Dao Ma Bao, and King Xu Guo Ma Weixing all came to the control of King Jin. I burn incense and pray for King Jin every day in Kunming, hoping that King Jin would deliver good news soon." His words were extremely sincere, and he really entrusted the country, capital and life to Li Dingguo.
"I will follow the orders, and I will definitely not let the emperor down!"
No matter what the emperor felt at this moment, he made himself pretend to be Huang Yue to go to war, and he also used the troops of the whole country to control him and fully supported him in fighting with the Qing army again. This attitude alone made Dingguo excited and bowed his head and bowed.
"After the King of Jin goes to war, the court must work together. I should all let the soldiers in front of me. I believe that the King of Jin will not let me down. On that day, I could expect tens of thousands of troops to be overwhelmed. Everyone in the court is afraid. Even I was afraid at that time, but what was the result? I hope that tens of thousands of troops would be asked to defeat him with one force. What would happen if the Qing army was large today? I believe that the King of Jin will definitely defeat the Qing army this time!"
"The emperor is wise!"
Whether he believed that Li Dingguo could defeat the Qing army or not, after the emperor made such passionate words, the ministers all praised him.
Yongli nodded slightly and was very satisfied with the reaction of the ministers. He no longer asked the ministers for their opinions, but said directly: "Guangdong Xingping has made great contributions. I have made clear rewards and punishments. I have drafted an imperial edict and appointed Xingping as Duke of Guangdong to control Guangdong's military and political affairs. After receiving the imperial edict, I entered Guangxi to serve the king in front of my army. I appreciate it, Prince and Prince. I have always rewarded meritorious ministers!"
Duke of Guangdong?!
The ministers were shocked and no one spoke. The emperor had no joke. Regardless of whether the Duke deserved the great contribution of Xingping, Guangdong, since the emperor had decided, the only one who was a minister could only take it happily.
Xu Yingyuan was stunned. Before he came, he had promised Zhou Shi. The prince could not take back his title, but the prince could definitely take back his title, but now Zhu Youlang has only given one Duke, and he is still a Duke of Guangdong!
You should know that this Duke of Guangdong was a title that was a dead Qu Shisi when he was alive. Although the title of the Yongli court is too chaotic and does not be listed according to the etiquette, you cannot change the title of a dead duke who has just died for a few years to a living hero. If you want to take it, you have to take it for a person who has died for two hundred years, such as Ma Bao, Duke of Huai.
What a fucking thing!
Xu Juren was about to curse himself. Zhu Youlang looked so handsome. He was a handsome man. He looked like an emperor who ruled the world. How could he do something so ridiculous? He had to bring the Duke of Guangdong back to show his beauty? If he knew that this was still a dead person, he would be furious.
Juren Xu was angry and anxious, and he looked very embarrassed, and he looked happy that Zhou Shi was granted the title of Duke.
Duke of Guangdong?
King Li Dingguo of Jin also felt that the emperor was a little stingy, but then he thought, if the emperor really appointed Zhou Shixiang as the prince, wouldn’t it be Liu Wenxiu? Liu Wenxiu had died of illness ten days ago. Now the Yongli regime is the only one of the King of Jin, but Dingguo is still obsessed with fame and fortune, and he is unwilling to speak out for Zhou Shixiang, for fear that another prince will be born to compete for power with him.
Guo Zhiqi was very anxious, regardless of the ministers, and said alone: "Your Majesty, it is inappropriate to only grant the Duke the title of Xingping such a great contribution!"
"Guo Qing means that I reward Xingping with the Duke of the Kingdom to reward Xingping with great achievements, but Xingping thinks that if the title I gave is low, I will be dissatisfied with me and unwilling to bring troops to serve the king? If so, what do I want him to do with such a minister!"
Yongli's tone was extremely cold, and he was really annoyed. Guo Zhiqi was the minister who promoted the trustworthy minister, but for some reason he spoke to Zhou Shixiang everywhere. Is it true that Guo Zhiqi accepted the benefits of Zhou Shixiang in Guangdong as Ma Jixiang said? Yongli became more suspicious and his eyes became more and more cold as he looked at Guo Zhiqi.
"I don't mean this!"
Guo Zhiqi sighed inwardly, knowing that the emperor was suspicious of Xingping, and it would be useless if he continued to talk. Zhou Shixiang was really right, why did he care about the court's relocation? If you want to take the court to Guangdong, you will say that you will come to serve the king and protect the emperor. When it really comes to that point, where can the emperor go if he doesn't go to Guangdong? You insist that tens of thousands of troops come to protect the emperor. How can the emperor feel good about this?
"Emperor, I heard that Zhou Shixiang's parents, wife and children were both harmed by the Qing army, so I asked the emperor to give him a marriage to Princess Changle to marry Xingping, demonstrating the grace of the emperor and the court."
Guo Zhiqi had no choice but to take out the alternative method. He was really focused on the court. Zhou Shixiang explained to him clearly in Guangzhou, and there was indeed a difficulty. It was difficult for a single Duke to control the military leaders of Guangdong. The prerequisite for the Taiping Army to enter Guangxi to conquer King Jidu and integrate the strength of the Ming army in Guangdong. The former has been completed, and now the latter is left.
Princess Changle is the daughter of Emperor Shaowu. Among the soldiers in Guangdong, there are many old subordinates of the Shaowu regime. If Zhou Shi married Princess Changle, the old subordinates of Shaowu would have no reason to boycott Zhou Shixiang. With the strength of the Taiping Army and the support of the old subordinates of Shaowu, the situation in Guangdong would be settled. At that time, Zhou Shixiang would have any reason to refuse to come and serve the king.
"Give a marriage? Let Changlexu be with Zhou Shi?"
Yongli was stunned. Guo Zhiqi asked Zhou Shi to be the king, why did he come to marry the princess for him again?
Princess Changle is 17 years old this year. It is a matter of reason that she should choose a husband. If Changle marrys Zhou Shixiang, he and his tens of thousands of soldiers will loyally serve the Ming Dynasty, Yongli will not object. He pondered a little, but did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he asked Li Dingguo Road beside him: "Does the King of Jin think it is okay?"
"I have no objection."
The King of Jin felt a little guilty about not being able to speak for Zhou Shi, so he wanted to make up for the matter. Besides, he had no reason to oppose the matter. If the princess married her and could allow the Guangdong Taiping Army to launch a troops into Guangxi to King Qin, it would definitely be of great help to the war in Yunnan.
The King of Jin did not object, and Yongle also thought of the benefits of Changle playing with Zhou Shixiang, so he simply said to Guo Zhiqi: "I am sure of this matter. I have appointed the princess as a princess and marry with princess rituals."
Guo Zhiqi breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor was not confused. He knew to raise the status of the princess a little more. In this way, Zhou Shi married the princess as his wife. Although he only gave him the title of Duke, he would not feel too wronged. He was happy, but found that the Guangdong master's victory seemed unhappy and looked a little confused.
Xu Yingyuan is really amused and crying now. He brought back a Duke of the Dead Man's National Account to the scholar, but he also wanted to bring him back a Zhu family wife as his wife, but he didn't know how the scholar would want him to be nice. It was the scholar who was very polite and knew that it was not his fault, but the two women in the Military Commander's Mansion could spare him?
After the civil and military officials retreated, Yongli did not go back, but sat alone in the hall. Looking at the empty hall, he suddenly felt a strange feeling, and felt that he had been swallowed up by the hall. Although he asked the King of Jin to take the battle, Yongli was still uneasy. He was very afraid that the King of Jin would be defeated. If the King of Jin was defeated, would he really want to learn from Emperor Xiaolie to die in this Kunming city?
Yongli shivered and felt once again that the emperor was extremely difficult and dangerous. He hated Ding Kuichu and Qu Shixi back then. If these two hadn't pushed him to the throne, would he have to be so worried now?
But he deliberately forgot how he wanted to be an emperor back then. The emperor is the emperor, with supreme power and endless glory and wealth. Once he becomes an emperor, he can command the world!
Back then, Yongli thought that once he became emperor, he would be the most popular. At that time, everyone in the world would unite under his command, expel the people of Manzhou from the Central Plains, and let him lead the Ming Dynasty to revive and become a powerful lord like Guangwu of Han. But now, the Zhu family's country is falling apart and devastated, and Zhu Youlang's life seems to be unstable.
As time goes by, if you have another chance to choose, Yongli doesn't know if he will choose to be this emperor.
Yongli shook his head and stopped thinking about the impossible. He stood up sadly and slowly walked down the steps. Seeing Wang Kun still standing there silently, he asked him by chance: "You said, when it is absolutely necessary, should I go to Guangdong or western Yunnan?"
Wang Kun was stunned, as if he remembered that the emperor had said in front of all the civil and military officials that when he was absolutely necessary, he had to learn from Emperor Xiaolie.
Today is 9,000 words. I have some night dinner later and then another section. Book friends don’t have to wait, just take a break before I go.
Another gossip: Yongli’s biggest regret before his death was that he failed to choose Bai Wenxuan, and the generals Ma Bao and other generals were so loyal that these powerful factions were not here.
