Along the entire canal, white sails formed a continuous line.
Too many to count!
Hong Chengchou and Tu Hai stood side by side on the deck of a ship, looking south.
It is almost winter now. Counting the time required on the way south, by the time the Qing army arrives in Jiangnan, it will probably be the coldest time of the year.
But for the Qing army, it was also the most suitable time to use troops.
The reason is actually easy to understand. Most of the main troops in the Qing army were northerners, especially the Eight Banners soldiers.
All of them grew up in the bitter cold Liaodong or on the grasslands.
Their bodies can endure the ice, snow and cold wind in the north, but cannot adapt to the hot and humid summer climate in the south.
If troops were to be sent to the south in the summer, the non-combat attrition of the Qing army would probably be unbearable to look at.
It is just right to use troops in the colder winter!
…
In the morning, the sky is bright!
Zhu Hongyu climbed up from Li Qiuyue's soft and delicate body. The girl's beautiful body made him very angry in the morning.
Originally, when Li Qiuyue was first sent, he was still a little disgusted with the Li family's interference in his harem.
As a result, I waited until I was in bed...
Mmm, it smells so good!
Li Qiuyue's face was very similar to Li Lingxiu's, which made Zhu Hongyu unable to stop.
However, even so, Zhu Hongyu was not greedy for sex.
But when the time came, he put on his clothes and got up with several maids waiting on him.
Wash, get dressed, and then start having breakfast.
While he was having breakfast, Li Qiuyue had already gotten up. After washing, she sat next to Zhu Hongyu, picked up vegetables for Zhu Hongyu, and served him his meal.
After finishing breakfast in a leisurely manner, Zhu Hongyu picked up the tea cup and rinsed his mouth with good tea leaves.
At this moment, the waiter at the door came to report.
"Your Highness, Wang Ruxian would like to see you!"
"Said there is an urgent memorial to be submitted!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.
"Let him in!"
After the words fell, Wang Ruxian strode up to Zhu Hongyu not long after.
He bowed slightly, presented a memorial to Zhu Hongyu with both hands, and spoke.
"Your Highness, this is the memorial sent by King Yanping from his senior official!"
Zhu Hongyu frowned slightly, and then took the memorial from Wang Ruxian.
I started reading it casually!
He was a little curious, why did Zheng Chenggong remember to write a memorial to himself?
However, when he opened the memorial, the first sentence made his pupils shrink and his expression changed slightly.
"Zhu Jin, the crown prince of Yanping, is unfaithful, filial, benevolent, unjust, sincere and disloyal, arrogant and rebellious, and has no loyal heart..."
"Chen Zhu Chenggong risked his life to submit a letter asking for a replacement for the crown prince of Yanping..."
Zhu Hongyu narrowed his eyes, and the expression on his face was quite moving.
Zheng Chenggong wants to change his son?
What's the reason?
Why?
Zhu Hongyu put the memorial in his hand on the table, frowned and asked.
"What exactly is going on?"
Wang Ruxian shook his head and said.
"Your Highness, I don't know!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded and gave instructions again.
"That's all, let's summon Zhou Tianxu, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, to appear in court!"
Although Dongchang has built a prototype, due to its short establishment time, Dongchang's intelligence capabilities are still limited to Guangzhou.
If you want to know what happened to Zheng Chenggong, you still have to ask Jin Yiwei!
However, the person Zhu Hongyu was ordered to summon had just walked out of the room when he saw Zhou Tianxu coming to see him in a hurry.
Zhou Tianxu also held a memorial in his hand.
Zhu Hongyu took the report from Zhou Tianxu and started to read it.
Then, a look of surprise appeared on his face!
It turns out that’s what happened!
No wonder Zheng Chenggong wants to change the candidate for heir apparent!
Historically, the conflict between father and son Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Jing broke out because Zheng Jing got involved with his brother's wet nurse.
But what Zhu Hongyu didn't expect was that today's history had been changed beyond recognition by him.
But Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Jing actually fell out because of such an incident.
How charming is this wet nurse...
This made Zhu Hongyu a little curious.
Thinking about these messy things, Zhu Hongyu hurriedly sighed several times in his mind.
Damn it, don’t be a traitor to Cao, don’t be a traitor to Cao, don’t be a traitor to Cao!
Say important things three times!
"This matter... is difficult to handle!"
Zhu Hongyu felt a little embarrassed.
Zhu Hongyu didn't have anything to say about Zheng Chenggong's intention to depose Zheng Jing as his heir apparent.
The soul of Zheng Jun is always Zheng Chenggong, not Zheng Jing.
Replacing Zheng Jing will not affect the overall situation!
The more important thing is actually another part of Jin Yiwei's report.
Zheng Chenggong fell ill...
This is actually more important than Zheng Chenggong's replacement of the crown prince.
If something goes wrong with Zheng Chenggong at this time, there is a high probability that something will happen to Zheng Jun.
Just when Zhu Hongyu was deep in thought, thinking about how to solve the problem at this time, Zheng Xuan actually ran all the way to ask to see him.
Zheng Xuanli appeared in front of Zhu Hongyu with raindrops, her tone was tearful, and she begged for Zheng Jing's mercy.
"Your Highness, I have received a letter from my brother. In the letter, my brother said that my father is crazy and wants to deprive him of the title of heir apparent and kill him."
"Please, Your Highness, save my concubine's brother!"
Zhu Hongyu's mouth twitched, he could only say that Zheng Jing was quite smart.
Knowing that Zheng Chenggong wanted to dethrone him as the crown prince, the only person who could change everything was Zhu Hongyu, the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty.
But even so, he did not come to Zhu Hongyu to intercede rashly, but used his sister Zheng Xuan to make a difference.
Zhu Hongyu is quite speechless now. He is a very smart person, but why can’t his brain be used in a serious way?
As the Prince of Yeonpyeong, are you in need of women?
Why do you have to get together with your brother's wet nurse?
A wet nurse is also a mother. If we have two children who are one generation older than us, wouldn't it be chaos?
No wonder Zheng Chenggong is so angry!
Zheng Jing, why is this necessary?!
If a man wants to succeed, he cannot control his lower body.
Zhu Hongyu felt slightly distressed when he saw Zheng Xuanli looking like a flower with rain in her eyes, but he didn't say anything, nor did he make a random promise.
Instead, he handed Zheng Xuan the imperial report sent by Zhou Tianxu in his hand.
He spoke.
"Let's see!"
"Let's talk about begging for mercy after reading this!"
Zheng Xuan stopped crying after hearing this, but her eyes were still red. She took the memorial from Zhu Hongyu and started reading it.
In just an instant, her expression changed!
When Zheng Jing asked Zheng Xuan for help, he would not say that he had angered Zheng Chenggong because of his involvement with his brother's wet nurse.
Now that Zheng Xuan saw what Zheng Jing had done, which was no different from Luan Na, she felt that her outlook on life was shattered.
Zheng Xuan cried aggrievedly again and explained to Zhu Hongyu.
"Your Highness, I don't know this..."
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.
"It's okay, you go and rest first!"
"As for the replacement of the crown prince, I will discuss it with King Yanping again and we will find a suitable solution."
Zheng Chenggong wanted to change his heir apparent, and it was not something he could do just by talking about it.
Even if Zhu Hongyu had no objection and happily sent out the imperial edict, it would still take some time to go through the process.
And it's impossible to say whether anything will happen during this period.
You know, the death of Zheng Chenggong in history was a bit strange.
Thinking about this, Zhu Hongyu spoke again.
"Send a message to King Yanping and ask him to come to Guangzhou to recuperate..."
