Chapter 400
The emperor was killed, which was a big deal. Li Xiao couldn't understand what Qian Qianyi had eaten that he couldn't digest, and he dared to attack the emperor. You know, although the emperor of the Zhu family didn't do anything good.
But after all, the Zhu family has been the emperor for more than two hundred years, and the people have deeply ingrained in their hearts the acquiescence that the Zhu family is the emperor's legitimacy. If Qian Qianyi kills people like this, he will definitely be opposed and reviled by people all over the world.
Li Xiao is now rushing back to Jinan. He has become accustomed to asking Sun Chengzong's opinions on major issues. After all, in politics, his experience and ability are extremely lacking. Until now, Li Xiao believes that he is only suitable for leading troops in war.
Zhang Huangyan also had to follow Li Xiao back to Jinan. He had no choice but to ride a carriage instead of riding a horse. If Zhang Huangyan, an old guy, was allowed to ride a horse, he would probably have to hold a memorial service after the bumpy trip to Jinan.
In the spring, the roads were muddy and the carriages were traveling hard on the road. From time to time, they had to recruit civilian men to lift the carriages out of the mud pits. This made Li Xiao full of resentment towards the damn official roads. If you want to get rich, build roads first, this slogan
That makes damn sense.
The horse did not stop along the way, the carriage did not stop day and night, and it took five days to reach Jinan.
When Li Xiao and Zhang Huangyan walked into his study in a hurry, the old guy and Sun Chuanting were drinking tea and chatting. To be so calm at this time, it was obvious that Sun Chengzong had already known the news.
"I guess you'll be back soon." Sun Chengzong put down his tea cup and pointed to what was happening next to him. Sun Chuanting quickly stood up and walked behind Sun Chengzong.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm back in a hurry, it seems you know everything." Li Xiao sat on the chair, and Sun Chuanting personally made a cup of tea and brought it over.
"I know! This time, I'm afraid Qian Qianyi has gone crazy. He did this kind of thing in public. Jiangnan is calm on the surface, but in fact it is very chaotic. Qian Qianyi is thinking of ways to win over more people.
Support him." When Sun Chengzong spoke, he glanced at Zhang Huangyan.
Zhang Huangyan sat on the chair and said nothing, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
"I'm not crazy, I'm afraid I'm really crazy. I dare to do such a thing as assassinating the emperor. The latest news from Jiangnan. The Jiangnan plutocrats are already considering whether to kill Qian Qianyi to avenge the emperor. Qian Qianyi
My concubine Yang Ying is running around all day long, trying to keep Qian Qianyi. At present, various forces are still competing."
"The scholars' rebellion has not been successful for three years. Those scholars in Jiangnan will have to figure it out next year." Zhang Huangyan echoed old Chen Fu.
"The most important thing now is what should we do?" Li Xiao still couldn't figure out the current complex situation.
"Hahaha! The emperor died suddenly, and the people in Jiangnan were in chaos. The most important thing now is not to kill Qian Qianyi, but who to appoint as the new emperor." Zhang Huangyan said unhurriedly.
"Support the new emperor? Isn't there a prince?" Li Xiao was a little puzzled. Although Zhu Youjian was not very old, he also had a son. Although Zhu Cihong was only six years old at the time, he was also a serious heir who was appointed as the crown prince.
.
"Oh! The latest news is that there was a big explosion in the Long Live mourning hall last night. Prince Edward, King Huai, King Ding, and King Ling were all killed by the explosion. Queen Zhou also died unfortunately. Jinling City is now in chaos.
A pot of porridge...!" The door curtain was raised, and old Chen Fu walked in.
Damn it! Li Xiao's jaw dropped to the ground. Qian Qianyi is really crazy. This is not how to eradicate the roots. This is the royal family. The orthodox Zhu family dynasty in the hearts of the people of Ming Dynasty. Qian Qianyi did this. Even if it was a hand job.
He holds a heavy army, but the common people will not do it. The governors of the world will not agree even more.
After all, no matter how awesome your Donglin Party is, you are still wearing the guise of being loyal to the emperor and patriotic. There are many governors in the world who are loyal to the Zhu family dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. Li Xiao is very doubtful whether Qian Qianyi was bitten by a dog recently.
That’s not right! This is not the symptom of rabies!
"Haha! It seems that I guessed it right. Qian Qianyi was so heartless and crazy that he killed the royal family. How can I just let it go!" Zhang Huangyan said seriously, but there was a trace of a smile on his face.
"Now that all the descendants of Long Live have been killed by Qian Qianyi, the most important thing is to support the new emperor. Haha! The capital is in our hands, and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is also in our hands. This matter of supporting the new emperor cannot be left to Jiangnan.
Those sour scholars make the decision." Sun Chengzong's eyes were cold and cold. Li Xiao had never seen such a look in the old guy's eyes.
"But the heirs of Long Live have been killed, where can we find the new emperor?" Sun Chuanting behind him suddenly spoke, and Li Xiao felt that these two had rehearsed, as if they were talking about cross talk.
"Don't we have one in Shandong? King Lu is the direct descendant of Emperor Taizu, and he is a noble person and a virtuous person. Your Majesty should support King Lu as the emperor!" Zhang Huangyan stood up and bowed to Li Xiao.
.
King Lu! Zhu Yihai?
The image of that honest child immediately appeared in Li Xiao's mind, and he was quite familiar with this brother Li Xiao. His mother was currently pregnant with Li Xiao's child on Changxing Island, expecting to give birth, so Li Xiao could be regarded as Zhu Yihai's stepfather.
If Zhu Yihai really becomes the emperor, he can be considered a member of his own family. But I don't know if he can be considered the supreme emperor.
"I also think that our Liao army should support King Lu as emperor." Old Chen Fu nodded and also saluted Li Xiao.
Before Li Xiao could react, Sun Chengzong also stood up and saluted Li Xiao: "King Lu is a close blood relative of the royal family and should be the ideal candidate to inherit the throne. Please make a decision as soon as possible, Your Majesty!"
This time Li Xiao was a little confused, and he respected Sun Chengzong Li Xiao very much. Usually the old guy called Li Xiao "Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao", but today he suddenly had to call him "Brother Xiao", and Li Xiao was really excited for a while.
There is no way to accept it.
"Please make a decision as soon as possible, Your Majesty!" Seeing Li Xiao stunned, the three old foxes and a middle-aged fox bowed and saluted again.
"Just do what the gentlemen want." The eight Li Xiaos are no match for so many foxes. In terms of IQ, these guys should be considered the top beings in the Ming Dynasty. Since they all agreed, Li Xiao decided to listen to the old foxes.
After all, Li Xiao is a novice in politics. These foxes are the top masters in this field.
"No! I will go to Yanzhou immediately to welcome King Lu to Jinan on behalf of the Lord. Then the Lord will welcome King Lu to the capital to ascend the throne!" Zhang Huangyan is Zhu Yihai's cousin, so naturally he will do this.
"I'm going to arrange protection matters along the way. This matter cannot be detected by those in Jiangnan in advance." Old Chen Fu said that he would do the important task of escorting us.
"When Banzai arrived in the capital, I personally wrote a proclamation to denounce the atrocities committed by Qian Qianyi and others against the royal family. He called on the governors of the world to avenge Banzai." Sun Chengzong was highly respected and had served as the emperor's teacher. He personally wrote the proclamation to express his gratitude to the governors of the world.
The influence will be very large. At the same time, by attacking the first minister Qian Qianyi, people will become more suspicious of the legitimacy of the Jiangnan court. The political risk of supporting King Lu will be reduced a lot.
As expected of an old fox! As soon as one side made a decision, the other side acted resolutely. Li Xiao was very suspicious. These old guys had discussed it. Everything was advancing with outrageous efficiency. Li Xiao felt that even if Zhu Yihai ascended the throne tomorrow, it would be nothing.
Big problem.
Things progressed rapidly while Li Xiao was in a confused state. Several old guys were busy running around, but Li Xiao became a standard idler. This made Li Xiao very suspicious as to why he came back to Jinan this time.
"Mr. Sun...!" Li Xiao wanted to talk to Sun Chengzong, but Sun Chengzong pushed him out.
"Go back to your home and have a good rest. Although Japanese women are foreigners, they are quite virtuous."
"Uh...!" How did the old fox come up with such a sentence? Did Tokugawa Chihime bribe the old guy?
Depressed, he turned around and returned to his house. After driving for several days in a row, he was stinking all over his body. When he thought of a hot bath, Li Xiao couldn't help but think of Tokugawa Chihime. Could it be said that this is the legendary condition?
