Chapter 192: Emperor Longwu Died
Zhu Youjian, who had been lying in the Forbidden City Palace for three days, suddenly woke up, his face was rosy and his mind was cleared, and it was obvious that he had already returned.
Wang Xiangnian stood beside him, holding his hands tightly, his eyes full of distress.
Zhu Youjian looked at the flashing Zhuxin, with a look of unwillingness in his eyes, and whispered: "Great companion, call the queen and Chen Fei."
The queen and the concubine are now waiting outside the hall. When she heard the words of the eunuch, she fell and ran into the bedroom.
Zhu Youjian looked at Queen Zeng, his eyes gradually calmed down. After coughing, he said, "I share the joys and sorrows with you for the rest of my life, and I have suffered with me."
Queen Zeng was sad and whimpering. Although she had a thousand words in her mouth, she couldn't say a word. She only knew that she was suffering from lying on the head of the bed.
At this point, Zhu Youjian comforted her and said, "The queen doesn't have to be sad. People die, but unfortunately they can't see that their ancestors have recovered. In this life, my life was more bitter and less sweet. When I was young, my grandfather favored my concubine and his wife, so he defeated me and his father, Guan Chengfeng, wanted to starve our father and son to death. At that time, I was only twelve years old. Fortunately, Zhang Shutang helped to deliver some brown rice. In the prison room, our father and son lived for sixteen years. Later, the father was poisoned by his younger brother, which alarmed the late emperor and rescued me.
In the third year of my inheritance of the Tang Dynasty, Ajige led his troops to attack Beizhili and other places. The Qing soldiers entered the Sierra to defeat Baodi and headed straight to Shenjing. I was eager to save the country. I ignored the national rules of "the vassal kings do not control the troops", recruited soldiers and horses, and led a thousand guards from Nanyang to the north to serve the king. The late emperor was furious and deposed me as a commoner and kept me in prison in Fengyang for seven years. In these seven years, the eunuchs guarding the tomb of Fengyang were unable to ask for bribes and tortured me with the pier lock method. Every day it was a life-and-death barrier.
Later, when the Qing Dynasty went south, Emperor Hongguang was captured, Zheng Zhilong helped me to the throne, but he was controlled by him like a puppet. It was not until Duke Yue tried his best to rescue me, that I had a good life in Jinling. These days, I was so happy, and I had never lived in my life. When our child died young, I was heartbroken, and I was angry with Su Guan, which laid the root of the disease. Now that I am about to die, Chen Fei is pregnant. I hope that the queen will look at my flesh and blood with Chen Fei for the sake of the couple."
When Chen heard this, he felt even more sad. He knelt on the ground and climbed to the bed, hugged Queen Zeng and cried bitterly. Queen Zeng hugged Chen and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we must take good care of this child and grow up."
Zhu Youjian used his best to lift his eyelids, and Wang Xiangnian hurried over.
"My companion, I will not be able to do it soon. I will be thinking about the master and servant. I will definitely look at my child sooner or later."
Wang Xiangnian held back his tears and said, "Your Majesty is full of blessings and will be cured soon. I am clumsy and stupid. It is better for Your Majesty to take care of you personally."
Zhu Youjian didn't know what he thought of, but a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Wang Xiangnian secretly wiped his tears and said, "Your Majesty, look at this..." He loosened his hands and saw that the emperor's arm had already dropped. He was shocked. He hurriedly measured his breath, knelt on the ground and howled: "Your Majesty!"
The bells rang in the palace, and a little eunuch ran to the wall at the entrance of the palace and gently threw out a small stone. The person who had been guarding the night outside immediately ran out and headed straight for the Chen Mansion.
In the backyard of Chen's mansion, a door with candlelight was pushed open, and a figure fell to the ground without caring about the pain and shouted: "Your Majesty has passed away."
Qian Qianyi slapped the table and shouted: "Okay! It's a big deal, let's start the action."
Jin Shenghuan smiled grimly and said, "The emperor died too slowly, I can't wait." After saying that, he lifted the whip on the table, walked out of the study room with great enthusiasm and walked towards the barracks.
Chen Zilong was unbearable, and he was directly responsible for Zhu Youjian's death. Zhu Youjian was kind to him, and Zhu Youjian promoted him from a county magistrate in Wujiang County to the Minister of Personnel. The king treated him as a national scholar, but he did not expect that he would kill him.
Seeing him stunned, Huang Zongxi pushed him and said anxiously: "Why are you still standing there? Jin Shenghuan has already attacked Suzhou at night. Tomorrow, he will welcome King Lu from Fujian and help him ascend the throne."
After Huang Zongxi finished speaking, he looked at Qian Qianyi and asked, "Have you ever explained your disciple, Zheng Zhilong's prince?"
Qian Qianyi stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, Taichong, Damu loves and admires me, he will definitely listen to my words. At worst, we are like Zheng Zhilong who promised benefits. He has already tasted the benefits of the Dragon Mastery, so how can we refuse?"
Huang Zongxi looked hesitant and said, "He won't support King Lu to ascend the throne in Fujian, right?"
"Hehe, Zheng Zhilong has little ambition, so he wants to be the King of Fujian. For him, the emperor has nothing to give him. Emperor Longwu has already given him a title to the top of a minister. The emperor is a hot potato for him. Besides, only by winning over Zheng Zhilong and Jin Shenghuan can we have the strength, so that the remnants played by Hou Xuan dare not act rashly." Qian Qianyi has been immersed in the officialdom for so many years, and his analysis has hit the nail on the head, and Huang Zongxi nodded secretly.
Chen Zilong was still stunned. When he was discussing, he could still take advantage of the anger of being deposed. Now that he heard that the emperor who had the kindness of knowing him was really dead, his shame and panic gradually gained the upper hand.
That night, there was no one in the streets of Suzhou City. The patrolling yawned and yawned. The two yawned yawned, rubbing their hands and chatting with each other. The night was still long, and it was another difficult night for them.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came, and the yamen runner pulled out his waist and shouted: "Who is it?"
A bunch of people rushed out of the streets, wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, and Li ignored him. The yamen runner hurriedly hid aside, reached out to pull his companion over, and covered his mouth. The two men then realized that there were hundreds of these people. Judging from their armor, they were obviously the Northern Expedition Army.
The older yamen runner whispered: "I don't want to die. These people are very fierce. I think our lord will probably kill people again. You don't know that the old yamen runners in our mansion in Kunshan last time went there, and the Ye family is a tycoon in Kunshan. The death is so miserable."
Li Haoxian took his personal soldiers and headed straight to the Marquis' Mansion. Hu Baiwan, who was guarding the door, was his little brother when he was in Shandong. When he saw him, he bowed and said, "Brother, the commander-in-chief has been waiting in there for a long time."
Li Haoxian nodded and walked into Hou’s mansion alone. Hou Xuanyan sat in the yard, wiping his sword, shining brightly under the moonlight.
Lee Haoxian bent down and said, "Supervisor."
Hou Xuanyan nodded and asked, "Are you all arranged?"
