On the third day of the eighth lunar month in the first year of Hongguang's reign in the Ming Dynasty, in the Jingjiang Royal City in Guilin, the capital of Guangxi, the morning light was dim, bleak and gloomy.
This majestic royal city, which took more than 20 years to build, is built in the north against the Duxiu Peak, the king of mountains in Guilin. It is surrounded by a city wall three and a half miles long, built with giant square green stones, and has a "body".
There are four gates: "Ren", "Duanli", "Zunyi" and "Guangzhi". The moat outside the city can be used for boating. The city is high and the pond is deep, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the royal city, the ancestors on the left and the right are sleeping in the front and the back.
There are four halls, four pavilions, seven terraces, pavilions, pavilions, and many rooms, with red walls and yellow tiles, cloud steps and jade walls. The palace is majestic, the pavilions are majestic, and the water and mountains are beautiful, like a fairy palace. There is a faint king.
Qi.
At this moment, outside the Chengyun Hall in the inner city of the palace, there are people looking forward to it, crowded with civil and military officials wearing black veils on their heads, wearing official robes and belts, and having birds and animals embroidered on the patches on their chests and backs. This group of people is about
There are more than a hundred of them, some old and some young, some fat or thin, but all of them have flushed faces, crazy expressions, and a look of greed and obsession with power in their eyes.
"Master Guan, our invitation to enter has been rejected twice. What do you mean by His Highness? You won't refuse it again this time, right?"
The leader, a black-faced military attache wearing a second-grade lion robe, asked anxiously.
"Don't be impatient, Mr. Yang. Your Highness's heart is unpredictable. We just need to be calm and wait."
The chief envoy of Guangxi, Guan Shouzhen, who had a golden pheasant embroidered on his clothes, was really good at nourishing his energy. After waiting for half an hour, he was still calm and calm.
A burst of laughter came from behind the two of them. A tall and thin scribe wearing a Confucian scarf, a green shirt, a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a few strands of goat's beard looked like no one else around and smiled triumphantly: "You two adults, there is no need to be anxious.
, I predict that His Highness will definitely agree to this."
"Bah, you villain!" Several officials behind the scribe cursed in low voices.
This scribe is none other than the top confidant of the current King of Jingjiang, Zhu Hengjia, whose name is Sun Jinding.
This man was originally a criminal. He was exiled to Guilin because he violated the national law. He was cunning, despicable, greedy and rebellious by nature, so he was not tolerated by the scholars. However, this man had a skill, he was good at flattering people, and when he came to Guilin, he directly
The Prince of Jingjiang was very pleased with the situation, and he obeyed his advice, treating him as Liu Xuande treated Zhuge Kongming. He was also proud of his favor, and seemed to consider himself the most important minister of the Jing vassal.
There is a reason for Sun Jinding's pride. No one in the entire city of Guilin understands His Highness's ambitions better than him.
A month ago, the Qing army broke through Nanjing and the news came that Emperor Hongguang was captured.
Jingfan summoned him to conspire and said: "Now there is no one in the world. On the day of enfeoffment, Yu Zuxiang was unwilling to grant the enfeoffment due to the mist in western Guangdong. Empress Ma comforted the envoy, so she gave him the ceremonial guard of the East Palace. Now there is no one in the East Palace.
People, don't you just look like the Eastern Palace? The prince supervises the country, and it is his ancestors who established the constitution, so why not?"
When Mr. Sun heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried happily: "Your Highness is majestic and majestic, and he should succeed to the throne! There is a royal aura on Duxiu Peak, and it should be on Your Highness today."
The king was overjoyed, so he conspired with him, colluded with the officials, and spy on the artifact, which led to this scandalous scene in which hundreds of officials in Guilin persuaded King Jingjiang to imprison the country.
The reason why it is said to be a farce is that among the twenty-five vassal kings conferred by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, only King Jingjiang was not a direct descendant of Emperor Taizu, but was the blood of Yuanzhang’s eldest brother Zhu Xinglong. Therefore, from a patriarchal perspective, Unless all other royal clans are dead, it will be the turn of King Jingjiang to inherit the throne.
Now, after Emperor Hongguang and King Hui were captured, Shenzong's direct descendants still have King Zhu Youlang of Gui, and the number of other vassal kings' clans is still large. On June 27, King Tang proclaimed himself emperor in Fuzhou, with the reign name Longwu; On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, King Lu was in Shaoxing to supervise the country.
At this time, you, King Jingjiang, also want to supervise the country. What else is it if it is not rebellion?
However, the sparse bloodline of the royal family also has its advantages. Because King Jingjiang is a distant branch of the royal family, he is not a big threat to the throne. Therefore, all the Ming emperors have been more tolerant to the Jingfan. Not only have they rewarded the Jingfan with a large amount of land, wealth, and silk, but they have also been almost untouched since Emperor Yongle. Due to the influence of the successive reductions of vassal status, the first Jingjiang King Zhu Shouqian retained the Guangxi Guards (later renamed Gua Lin Zuowei) as a bodyguard rewarded by Taizu during the vassal period in the hands of Jingfan. This was also the greatest confidence in history that King Jingjiang dared to plot rebellion.
"Did you cross over?"
A soul in the Chengyun Hall wailed. This history enthusiast from later generations, whose real name is Zhu Hengjia, went to the Jingjiang Palace in Guilin and was shocked by the beautiful scenery of the palace. He sighed casually: "Such a blessed place, if I can live here, even if I don't live a lifetime, "I'm willing to do it every year." As a result, he suddenly fainted. After waking up, Zhu Hengjia traveled through time and became Zhu Hengjia, the King of Jingjiang, inheriting all the memories and emotions of the original owner. What's funny is that the time of time traveling happened to be on the third day of August. Historically, Zhu Hengjia, the King of Jingjiang, was this He was imprisoned for one day, but failed and was captured on September 25th. He was sentenced to death in Lianjiang, Fujian Province in April of the following year. He only lived for more than eight months, which was really less than a year.
"God, I'm just kidding, put me back on!" Zhu Hengjia was depressed.
"I only have eight months left to live. What should I do? How about telling the officials outside that we are not going to rebel anymore and that it would be better to be the Prince of Peace?"
No, rebellion is not about buying something that cannot be returned! Now the whole city of Guilin and even Guangxi know the news that they want to supervise the country. Even if they quit now, they will still not be able to escape being settled by Emperor Longwu and imprisoned to death. The end result. Zhu Hengjia is still clear about the principle of never doing the same thing (because Zhu Hengjia’s soul has been merged with Zhu Hengjia’s soul, and they have become one. For convenience, the author will use Zhu Hengjia to call the protagonist of the novel from now on).
"Come here!"
"Your Highness, my servant is here." He Liang, who was in charge of the service, hurriedly bowed down and responded.
"Xuan General Yang, Mr. Sun, Gu Tuiguan, Guan Fangbo, Yu Tixue, Counselor Yan, Counselor Fan, and Commander Shi entered the palace, and Zhu Hengkuo, Bai Luxin, Zhang Cheng, Sun Gui, and Yang Wu A few of them were also called in."
