Chapter 170: Suppression and Pleasure 2

Zhu Yousong suddenly understood why he was a good military supervisor in Guangzhou, but was suddenly recalled to Nanjing. It turned out that he was asked to come back to express his opinion.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhu Yousong was silent for a moment and made a very clever move. He stood up and said to Zhu Cilang: "Master, I have a grudge against the thief to kill my father, and I wish I could swallow his flesh alive. But I also understand that there are priorities and priorities. In the midst of the Ming Dynasty, our vassal kings should always make plans for the future of the Ming Dynasty. If the thief thinks that urging the thief is more beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, then I should support your resolution." As he said that, he bowed to Zhu Cilang.

Zhu Cilang quickly stood up and supported Zhu Yousong, "Uncle Wang is so wise and puts the overall situation first, which is indeed a blessing for my Ming Dynasty and a blessing for the world."

In fact, Zhu Yousong guessed wrongly. The reason why Zhu Cixuan recalled Zhu Yousong from Guangzhou this time was because he had been in Guangzhou for several months and the local people were furious. Zhu Cixuan was preparing to question him.

Zhu Yousong was not a tyrannical person, but he was all involved in wine, sex, money and fortune.

Canton was the window to the outside world for the Ming Dynasty, and merchants gathered and were quite wealthy.

Zhu Yousong came to Guangzhou, and these merchants rushed to him like flies when they saw shit. Some sent houses, some sent fields, some sent singers, pearls, jade, agate, gold, silver and treasures, all of which were all.

Of course, these are not free. Of course, they have some desires to cling to Zhu Yousong. They need Zhu Yousong to provide them with various conveniences and protections.

Zhu Cixuan attached great importance to Guangzhou, so he sent Zhang Kentang and Huang Fei to come.

Zhang Kentang was sent to Guangzhou to collect taxes for the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Fei went to Guangzhou to recruit soldiers for the Ming Dynasty. Both of these items required a huge amount of silver.

Before the fall of the capital, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty had no real power. However, after Zhu Cilang succeeded to the throne, he followed Shi Kefa's advice and let the vassal kings guard a place and act as a military supervisor. He gave them real power and could even interfere in the local administration and army.

Zhu Yousong's actions in Canton have directly affected the implementation of the Ming Dynasty's new local policies, and Zhang Kentang and Huang Fei's letters have many complaints.

Zhu Cixuan sent several Jinyiwei secretly to Guangzhou to investigate what Zhu Yousong did. He found that Zhu Yousong was really guilty and could not bear to look at him.

Zhu Cilang was furious and wanted to issue a letter to tie Zhu Yousong directly into the capital.

However, this move was blocked by Shi Kefa. He believed that he had just granted the vassal kings rights, but he had to punish the vassal kings several months later, which would probably make other vassal kings disappointed.

Once the vassal kings conspire to form local forces, it will be extremely unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty.

Finally, Zhu Cixuan decided to recall Zhu Yousong, intending to confuse the royal family to punish him. In order to avoid Zhu Yousong's suspicion, Zhu Cixuan also recalled King Lu, King De, King Chu, King Heng and other vassal kings.

But Zhu Yousong's sudden statement at this moment made Zhu Cilang difficult to punish him.

Although Zhu Cilang felt a little regretful, he believed that he had lost the method of killing the chicken to warn the monkey and using this to warn other vassal kings. He also understood that he could not be punished now, but should be erected as a model for vassal kings to support the court.

So Zhu Cilang immediately stood up and enthusiastically talked about the friendship between the royal family with him.

Zhu Yousong's statement basically set the tone of this church, which was to surrender the Huguang Rebellion Army. The next discussion was about how to surrender.

Shi Kefa reported on the conversation with Niu Jinxing, but skipped the private words he had with him.

In the next few days, Niu Jinxing brought gifts to visit Qian Qianyi, Gao Hongtu, and even Li Jiantai and other ministers in the court who began to support the suppression of the rebellion army to seek their support.

Shi Kefa talked with Niu Jinxing several times, and finally decided to redeem the Huguang Rebellion Army. He changed his name to Zhongzhen Camp and allowed him to stay in Jingzhou forever. The military expenditure and supplies were provided by the Ming Dynasty.

The generals of the Huguang Rebellion Army were granted two marquises and three monarchs.

He was granted the title of Marquis of Xingguo, Liu Fangliang as Marquis of Zhenguo, Liu Tichun as Body of Anguo, Li Shuangxi as Body of Pingshun, and Liu Xiyao as Body of Pingshun.

Others such as Hao Yaoqi, Zhang Nai, Ta Tianbao, Bai Wang, etc., were either generals or generals.

The civil officials of the rebel army headed by Song Xiance were also awarded various official positions.

In order to surrender the Huguang Rebellion Army, the Ming court spent a lot of money this time.

Niu Jinxing himself wanted to enter the court and become an official, but Shi Kefa and others wanted him to return to Huguang to better control the rebel army.

In the end, Niu Jinxing compromised.

Afterwards, Zhu Cilang summoned Niu Jinxing, appointed him as the Minister of War, and rewarded him.

Niu Jinxing thanked him for his gratitude and promised to help the Ming court completely surrender the Huguang rebel army.

This summer is surprisingly hot in the south.

In the afternoon, a carriage was escorted by more than a dozen horse-riding guards and walked quickly.

Zhu Meiyu opened the curtain and could already see the majestic city wall from afar. She was very happy and said to the little girl who was sitting there and constantly beating Hache: "Zhaoren, we will be here soon."

Zhaoren said "Oh" and stopped talking, his eyelids were fighting.

Chen Feng sat at the front of the car and smiled: "Your Highness, you are taking a boat and a car along the way. Your Highness is exhausted."

Zhu Mei nodded and looked at her sister dotingly. Seeing that there was a layer of sweat on her forehead, she took out a square scarf and wiped it carefully.

Chen Feng said: "Your Highness, the walls of Nanjing are much taller than those of Jinan. It is said that Jiangnan is prosperous. Should we go around after we arrive?"

Zhu Mai thought for a moment, finally shook her head and said, "You go then! I won't go anymore, so as not to cause trouble for the emperor."

Chen Feng showed some disappointment between his eyebrows, but he quickly said: "It's okay, there is still a chance in the future."

At this time, with a short shout of "Wish", the carriage stopped. "Your Highness, someone is here."

A eunuch quickly stepped forward and bent down in front of the car to salute, "I am Han Zanzhou, paying homage to His Highness."

Zhu Mai got off the car and asked, "Did the emperor ask you to pick us up?"

Han Zanzhou replied: "Yes, Your Highness. It is not easy for the Supreme Lord to leave the palace, so I can only let my servants come for him. The Supreme Lord misses the two His Highnesses very much, and basically talks about this matter every day. Today you are finally here."

Fang Yizhi hurried forward and saluted, "Your Highness still remembers the empress."

Zhu Mei nodded and asked, "Are you still teaching Cixiao now?"

Before Fang Yizhi could answer, Han Zanzhou took over the conversation, "Your Highness, Lord Fang has now been promoted to the Minister of Rites, and is the youngest Minister of Rites in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Mai smiled and said, "Congratulations to Lord Fang. Han..."

Han Zanzhou hurriedly said, "I am Han Zanzhou."

Zhu Ma said, "Let's enter the palace now! I also want to see the emperor's brother as soon as possible."

Han Zanzhou bowed, "Please change the car with two Your Highnesses."

Zhu Mai nodded and pulled Zhao Ren's men out of the car. When Chen Feng was about to follow him forward, Han Zanzhou stopped him, "The idle people cannot wait to enter the palace."

Chen Feng raised his eyebrows, "My supervisor asked me to protect His Highness, and he would never leave him. How dare you, an old eunuch, stop me?"

Han Zanzhou said angrily: "This is Nanjing, not Shandong. Zhou Xian's words don't work here. A little furry child dares to be rude. This is the etiquette that Zhou Xian taught you."

Chen Feng was furious and wanted to take action.

Fang Yizhi stepped forward to stop him and lowered his voice, "Chen Feng, was the one who asked you to come here to cause trouble?"

Chen Feng hesitated for a moment, "But he..."

Fang Yizhi said: "No obstacle, the emperor is His Highness's brother, and His Highness's safety will be guaranteed. Besides, if you follow him, what can you do? I will follow His Highness all the way, so don't worry!"

When Zhu Mai saw it, she also said, "Chen Feng, go and see Zhou Xian's father and brother first! When I have met the emperor, I will send someone to find you."

Chen Feng was silent for a while, bowed to Fang Yizhi, "I'll ask Mr. Fang for everything."

Two carriages walked one after another, towards the direction of the palace.

Fang Yizhi and Han Zanzhou were sitting in the second carriage. Seeing that Han Zanzhou was still full of anger, he smiled faintly: "Eunuch Han, what are you calculating about with a child?"

Han Zanzhou shook his head and said, "It's not him that our family cares about, but Zhou Xian. Just imagine that even a child under his tent dares to be so rude to our family. How loyal is the other soldiers under his command to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty?"

Fang Yizhi's face darkened and he sighed softly.

Han Zanzhou looked at Fang Yizhi, "Our family heard that Zhou Xian sent many detailed works to the south, intending to win over some unfaithful ministers to serve him. Lord Fang and him were old acquaintances, but I wonder if Zhou Xian had sent someone to see you too?"

Fang Yizhi was stunned for a moment and looked at Han Zanzhou in disbelief, "Eunuch Han, what do you mean? Do you think Fang will have private contact with Zhou Xian?"

Han Zanzhou shook his head, "Your Majesty is young, simple in mind, and values ​​affection and righteousness. Anyone who comes from Beijing has basically been valued. Including Li Jiantai, Tan Zhencai, Yang Yufan, Wang Weidong, and you. The lowest one is also a Jinyiwei polite envoy, and the emperor's kindness is definitely heavy. But some people are heartless and take the salary of the court, but they bet on both sides, trying to take advantage of both sides. It is time to find an opportunity to clean up such people. We believe that Lord Fang is not such a person, so we will give a little reminder."

Fang Yizhi looked ugly, "Eunuch Han, you mean the emperor is preparing..."

Han Zanzhou said: "The Lord of the Emperor said that, but shouldn't he consider the Lord of the Emperor in advance? Lord Fang is a celebrity around the Lord of the Emperor. Our family wants you and our family, and there are some other people to work hard to rectify the people and affairs in Nanjing."
